About Diane
Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports issues like addiction, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Diane practices in Kansas and works in English.
Diane takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels right for them.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, real-life steps, and honest conversation rather than jargon or lengthy theory. Her background includes work in psychiatric settings, hospice care, senior counseling, and support for veterans and first responders. She has experience with the LGBTQ+ community and has helped people facing complex life events such as caregiving challenges, chronic illness, and bereavement.
That practical variety shapes how she notices what matters most to each person. Diane uses a mix of methods, including Existential therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based work. Those approaches are chosen to fit the problem at hand - whether that means managing symptoms, repairing communication, or finding more meaning after loss.
In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental, warm, and down-to-earth. She values humor when it helps and keeps the work grounded in the client’s daily life. People can expect direct listening, gentle challenge, and collaborative problem-solving.

Online support
How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It can help people who are wrestling with loss, major life changes, or a sense of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection about values and direction.Client-Centered therapy focuses on warm, nonjudgmental listening and supporting a person’s own capacity to find answers. It is useful when someone needs validation, clearer self-understanding, or steady support through difficult moments.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another and teaches practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals, day-to-day needs, and how they prefer to work. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone wants short, written communication between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
