About Diane
Diane Stapleton is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and calm so people can talk through what matters most. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support without pressure.
Diane uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Existential therapy to help people face big questions about meaning and choice.
Background and approach
She also uses Client-Centered techniques to make space for listening and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used when practical steps and behavior patterns can bring relief. Across sessions she focuses on concrete goals and simple tools people can use between meetings.
Diane helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice clearer communication. She pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, body image, guilt, and loneliness when those topics come up. With more than two decades of experience she brings steady judgment and a calm presence to sessions.
Diane practices in Colorado and works primarily midweek as she is semi-retired. She speaks English and offers several online formats to fit different needs. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Existential therapy in Diane’s work helps people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. It is useful when someone is feeling empty, stuck, or overwhelmed by big life questions. Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, creating space to express feelings and thoughts without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often chosen when anxiety, depression, or stress feel manageable with practical tools.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane treats it as a collaborative effort - she will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining reflection with action when that helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for scheduling and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
