About Diane
Diane McCollum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults and children across a range of settings. Diane focuses on common problems people bring to therapy, including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and anger.
Diane approaches work plainly and practically. She describes clients as brave for seeking change. She draws on her own personal experience with counseling to stay grounded in what it feels like to be stuck during life transitions. Diane emphasizes clear communication, respect, and firm boundaries in the therapeutic relationship.
Her background includes using a family systems perspective alongside humanist and spiritual ideas. She helps people look at how past experiences may affect their present. Diane encourages clients to set their own goals and to take an active role in planning treatment steps.
In sessions she combines talk work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment approaches. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses to stress and anger.
Diane aims to learn with each client as they explore problems like communication difficulties, control issues, codependency, chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and other life changes. Her work tends to focus on practical steps people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Many of Diane's methods are straightforward and skills-focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to test and change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small, values-based steps even when feelings are strong. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, reflecting, and supporting the person’s own problem-solving rather than giving directives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane partners with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. She will discuss options and adjust techniques as people learn what helps with anger, stress, or relationship issues.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current session options before booking. Practical benefits people often notice are easier fitting of sessions into busy days, the ability to keep brief check-ins between in-person visits, or choosing a shorter format when time is limited. Licensed professionals can use different approaches to make therapy useful even when schedules and routines are tight.
