About Diane
Diane Henning is an Illinois LCPC with 15 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.
Diane uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people name what feels off and take practical steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with painful thoughts. Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior approaches are part of sessions when they fit the person’s goals.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Diane listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different behaviors to test what improves daily life. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment issues, and complex mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma, grief, and addiction, alongside supporting people wrestling with career and life changes. That experience shapes a focus on clear skills, honest feedback, and steady support as clients try new ways of handling stress and relationships.
Diane commonly helps adults who feel stuck after big life changes - leaving home, starting or changing jobs, or shifting relationship roles. She encourages practical steps people can use between sessions to build confidence and manage setbacks.
Clinical approaches used and how they work online
Diane commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns that keep problems going.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflection to help people feel understood and to guide goal-setting. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, addiction, and coping with life changes because they combine skills practice with personal exploration.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work in therapy. Diane will collaborate with each person to test different approaches and adjust based on what helps most. Clients set goals together with the therapist and they try practical exercises that can be reviewed in later sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also can let people join sessions when switching jobs, relocating, or balancing school and work, while the therapist and client decide together what rhythm and style of meetings best support progress.
