Diane Wells, LPC

Diane Wells is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, respectful presence and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions. Many come for help with addictions, communication problems, codependency, or issues tied to abandonment and shame.

Her approach is interactive and down-to-earth. Diane listens to each person’s story and treats it as the starting point for change. She adapts conversations and exercises to meet a client’s needs and pace, rather than following a rigid plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolbox, which she uses to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on narrative ideas to reframe personal stories and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action.

Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and manageable goals. Diane supports steps toward change and helps people build routines that reduce stress and improve mood. She also works with concerns related to aging and young adult transitions.

Based in Colorado, Diane brings warmth and a collaborative style to online work. Her practice centers on helping people feel heard, get unstuck, and try new ways of coping that fit everyday life.

Approach-focused online care for practical change

CBT helps people track thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression, then practice simple changes that alter day-to-day patterns. It is useful for stress, mood shifts, and problems with avoidance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in naming their values and taking small actions that match those values even when emotions are strong. It can help with grief, shame, and persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration, giving clients space to tell their story and shape the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to test methods and discover what fits best for their goals and lifestyle. This collaborative planning means techniques may shift over time as needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use skills in real-life moments.
