01About Diane
Diane Bates is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She works with individuals who want practical tools and steady support while they navigate difficult emotions and transitions. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Diane aims to make therapy feel like a usable part of everyday life rather than an added burden.
Background and approach
Her style blends active listening with problem-solving. Diane uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on client-centered practices to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Diane has five years of experience and holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Oklahoma. That background informs how she plans treatment and sets realistic goals with each person she sees. She often helps people coping with mood shifts, panic or panic attacks, codependency patterns, communication struggles, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.
Diane also supports those dealing with body image concerns, guilt or shame, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions are practical, focused, and collaborative. Diane works with each client to build coping skills, reduce symptoms that block daily functioning, and strengthen emotional understanding so people can move forward with clearer choices.

04Online support
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds trust so they can set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend a mix of strategies. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days and let people choose what format works best for their energy and schedule.
