About Diane

Diane McCollum is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience working with adults. She draws on her own journey with counseling to connect with people who want change. Diane values honesty, clear communication, and mutual respect in the work she does with clients.

She approaches therapy with a humanist and spiritual sensibility. That means she treats people as whole individuals and honors the values that matter to them.

Background and approach

Diane uses a family-systems perspective when helpful, while keeping the client's goals central to each session. Diane helps people who carry trauma and abuse histories make sense of how the past influences the present. She also works with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, intimacy concerns, and issues around parenting and relationships.

Practical struggles such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, and blended family challenges are part of her focus as well. Her toolbox includes approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness work, client-centered methods, and existential themes about meaning and choice. She encourages clients to set their own goals and takes a collaborative stance in planning treatment.

Sessions emphasize listening, respect, and real-world steps clients can try between meetings. Diane aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and more satisfying daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It helps people facing big life questions, emptiness, or transitions by focusing on what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping people move toward meaningful action and values-based goals.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own pace. It helps people feel heard and understood while they figure out their next steps. Diane will work with each person to see which approaches fit best and will adapt methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when bandwidth and surroundings allow. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, notes between sessions, and regular contact when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting meetings into busy lives.
