01About Diane
Diane Bahr brings 15 years of experience to therapy in Maryland. She holds an MD and the LCPC credential, and she draws on her own life changes to guide her work. Diane focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon.
She helps people untangle painful emotions and find steady footing again. Diane’s path to helping others began with personal loss and a long recovery. That history shaped how she talks with people about grief, anger, and depression.
Background and approach
She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck and then looks for small changes that make a real difference. Her sessions are goal-oriented and straightforward. Diane uses cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to build forward movement.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure or ambivalent about change. People often seek her out for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions, and career or midlife transitions. She also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disasters, commitment or control issues, and low self-esteem.
In therapy she helps clients set realistic goals, practice new ways of thinking, and try different behaviors between sessions. The work can include both emotional processing and practical problem solving. Diane aims for an honest, encouraging style that makes room for hard feelings and occasional laughter.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment and responding with empathy. It helps people feel heard so they can explore feelings about loss, relationships, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to change thinking patterns and try new actions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes. It uses questions and reflection to uncover motivations and reduce resistance, helpful for addictions, commitment issues, or when facing big transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and then adapt methods that fit their needs. This partnership helps set clear, achievable steps and keeps the work focused on what matters most.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat for shorter exchanges during a busy day, and text-based messaging for ongoing, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and life demands while using the approaches described above.
