Diane McCollum, LPC, LMFT

Diane approaches sessions with directness and warmth and sees clients as people trying to move through hard life transitions. She believes a good therapeutic relationship is built on respect, honesty, clear communication, and boundaries.

Diane draws on a family systems perspective while keeping the conversation grounded and practical. She treats trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem concerns among other issues.

Diane helps people untangle how the past influences their present. She encourages clients to set their own goals and works alongside them to reach those aims.

Sessions emphasize understanding feelings, learning new ways to respond, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time. Her style mixes client-centered talk with structured tools when helpful.

Diane uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support coping and change. She also addresses relationship patterns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family challenges.

Clients can expect a clinician who listens, reflects, and offers options rather than one-size-fits-all answers. Diane aims to role model dignity and compassion while helping people build clearer communication and more effective coping skills.
