About Diane
Diane Wells is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. Diane also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, avoidant personality patterns, communication problems, women's concerns, young adult issues, aging and geriatric matters, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Diane uses a practical, conversational style. She listens to a person’s story and treats that story as the place to start. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and to identify small steps forward. She prefers short, direct conversations that lead to clearer choices and actions.
Her work draws from narrative approaches that examine the stories people tell about themselves. She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters, and with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete goals and try manageable changes between sessions.
Diane describes her meetings as interactive and respectful. She adapts the way she talks and plans work with each person’s needs. Clients can expect collaborative discussion about what feels most useful and what might change next.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How Diane blends therapy approaches for online work
Diane often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-based steps even when emotions are difficult. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with what someone cares about.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversations are guided by the person’s priorities and rhythm. This approach helps people feel understood while they sort through awkward or painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to identify and change thinking patterns that keep problems active, which can be useful for anxiety, guilt, and depression.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s situation rather than applying one fixed method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into everyday life, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when needed. Licensed professionals can work with clients across locations when both parties agree on arrangements.
