01About Diane
Diane Stapleton is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She writes and speaks plainly and meets clients where they are. Diane aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
She creates a calm space where people can talk through upsetting thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring meaning and patterns that affect daily life.
Background and approach
Diane listens closely and works collaboratively to set clear goals and small, doable actions. Her approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person's experience central, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that maintain distress. She also uses existential and Jungian ideas to help people explore purpose, identity, and personal symbolism when that feels useful.
After more than two decades in practice she has worked with many concerns related to family of origin, communication problems, abandonment issues, and isolation or loneliness. Diane also has experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling, first responder issues, and coping with aging and geriatric matters.
She offers sessions midweek and toward the end of the week while moving into semi-retirement, and structures work to fit each person’s pace. Language of sessions is English and she practices as an LPC in Colorado.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist creates space for people to express thoughts and feelings and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills for stress, mood, and trauma-related symptoms.
Diane will work with each person to identify which approach or combination fits best. That choice is collaborative and based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences, with adjustments made as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life demands and scheduling constraints.
