About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is client-centered. She focuses on listening first and adapting to each person’s pace. Sessions emphasize practical conversation, problem-solving, and emotional processing rather than jargon. Diane values straightforward talk and occasional lightness when it helps reduce tension.
Her background includes work in psychiatric settings, hospice, senior counseling, and with veterans and first responders. She has experience with the LGBTQ community and with people managing chronic illness and caregiver stress. That varied clinical work shapes how she responds to complex, overlapping concerns.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix supports both short-term coping strategies and deeper exploration of meaning and relationships. Diane explains techniques plainly and encourages practical steps between meetings.
People can expect direct, respectful conversation that addresses current problems and daily pressures. She focuses on what is useful now - better coping, clearer decisions, and fewer obstacles to day-to-day functioning. To begin, follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and supporting the person's perspective. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps people sort out what matters most right now. It is useful for addressing immediate stress and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions include clear skill-building exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies for day-to-day challenges.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings shape connections and personal reactions. The method helps people name emotions and practice new ways to respond when relationships or intimacy create pain. It can be helpful alongside CBT techniques for deeper emotional work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process can include testing practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss how to structure meetings so they work with a client's daily routine and goals.
