Diane Witmer, LCSW

Diane Witmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and self-esteem struggles, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.

Diane uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to help people notice what gets in the way of their goals. Sessions often involve talking through patterns in relationships, testing small changes in behavior, and practicing new ways to respond to stress or upsetting memories.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Diane also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients clarify values and take workable steps toward them. Attachment-based work is part of her practice when people want to understand how earlier relationships shape current patterns.

People who come to Diane for codependency-related concerns often want help with people-pleasing, setting clearer boundaries, and recovering a sense of self. She talks plainly about how patterns form and what a different day-to-day might look like after small consistent changes.

Therapy with her focuses on practical strategies you can try between sessions. She tracks progress together and adjusts methods if something isn’t helpful. Sessions are in English and reflect her clinical background as a New York and Tennessee LCSW.
