About Diane
Diane Stapleton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Diane works with adults navigating the pressures of early adulthood and other life transitions.
She offers straightforward, person-centered sessions that encourage honest conversation. Diane listens to what each person brings and helps them name problems and options. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life more manageable rather than promising quick fixes.
Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s perspective central and supports self-directed growth.
Diane also uses Existential and Jungian ideas when exploring identity, meaning, or deeper patterns that repeat across relationships. Solution-Focused methods are used for setting small, practical goals and tracking progress between sessions. She blends these in plain language suited to the client’s goals.
Diane describes herself as semi-retired and schedules sessions Wednesday through Friday. She emphasizes steady, practical steps for people dealing with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options before booking and to use the initial matching process to schedule a first appointment.
How Diane’s approaches translate to online work
Diane commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting what the client says, and supporting them to make their own decisions. This approach helps people who need space to clarify values, identity, and relationship choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering practical tools to change day-to-day reactions. Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Diane will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That partnership helps decide which ideas to use and when to shift strategies as progress is tracked. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or irregular schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel on busy days. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific mode of delivery.Areas of expertise
