Diane Craft, LPC

Diane Craft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with twenty-five years of experience. She focuses on practical, solution-oriented work and uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem problems, and life transitions.

She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and in private practice. Diane has also taught and supervised clinicians who were pursuing licensure, which gives her a long view of clinical practice and common hurdles people face when starting therapy.

Diane emphasizes a positive, interactive style in sessions. She listens carefully and avoids labeling or stereotyping. Her approach centers on problem solving and using cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns while building actionable steps forward.

Her background includes responding as a mental health member to major disasters, which has informed her calm, steady approach when people are overwhelmed or in crisis. She also has experience working with older adults and with people in the LGBT community, and she integrates that experience into respectful, individualized care.

When starting work with Diane, clients can expect practical goals, clear strategies, and tailored plans. She aims to help people learn skills that they can use outside sessions and to support them through change at a manageable pace.

How Diane's Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and to build skills for coping with stress and anger.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific goals and practical steps. Sessions look at what is already working, set short-term objectives, and encourage small changes that add up over time. This approach can be helpful for life transitions and for people who want clear next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will discuss your goals and preferences, try out methods that make sense for your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to find strategies that fit your daily life and feel doable.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint is helpful. These options allow flexibility while keeping the focus on practical change and ongoing support.
