About Diane

Diane Wells is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, women's concerns, and challenges facing young adults.

Her approach is conversational and respectful. She uses narrative ideas to help people tell the story of what happened and how it shapes current choices. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Solution-Focused techniques to give practical tools and ways to reframe difficult thoughts.

In sessions she listens for patterns people repeat, especially around putting others first or avoiding conflict. She will help identify small, doable steps to change interactions and reduce harmful stress. Work is done at a steady pace, focusing on what matters most to the client now.

Diane emphasizes collaboration. She will discuss options from different approaches and help decide which methods feel most workable. Expect clear, direct conversation about next steps rather than vague theory.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options so you know how Diane schedules and runs appointments.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit change.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Diane discusses different methods with clients and together they decide what to try based on current goals and what feels practical. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as clients learn what helps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice between meetings and to focused problem-solving during a single session, which can be helpful for people juggling caregiving, work, or frequent errands.
