About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MO LCSW and KS LSCSW, with 15 years of practice. She trained with a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas and has long experience in psychiatric settings. Diane works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, addiction concerns, anger, and other life changes.
She has worked in senior counseling, hospice, and with Veterans and first responders. Diane has also supported people in the LGBTQ+ community. Her background includes helping clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and major life transitions.
Diane uses a client-centered approach in sessions. That means she starts from where a person is and moves at a pace that fits them. She combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with emotion-focused and mindfulness approaches when they suit the problem.
In a session she listens without judgment and talks through concrete steps a person can try between meetings. She aims for straightforward conversation and occasionally uses humor when it feels appropriate. Therapy can include looking at thinking patterns, practicing new responses, and addressing painful memories.
People who meet with Diane can expect plain language and steady support while they work on specific concerns. To begin, the usual first step is a short intake so she can understand immediate needs and plan next steps together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to where a person is right now. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide the next steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete exercises to change them. That approach is useful for anger, anxiety, and stress where thoughts and reactions feed each other. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at strong feelings in relationships and helps people identify and express needs more clearly. It can be helpful when anger is tied to attachment or communication problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. The first sessions usually involve talking about current struggles, testing a few techniques, and agreeing on practical steps to try between meetings.
The original biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, a session that avoids travel time, or an option that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and emotion-focused work to an online setting so therapy can be practical and focused on everyday problems.
