Diane Wells , LPC

Diane Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who focuses on issues many women and adults face. She helps people dealing with relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions. Diane uses a warm, interactive style and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical.

She believes everyone has a story worth hearing. Diane listens first, then shapes conversations to reflect each person's needs. She uses narrative ideas to help people understand how their past fits with what they want now.

Practical steps are important in her work. Diane draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take action that matters to the client.

Diane adapts sessions to focus on specific concerns such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, or issues that arise in young adulthood and aging. Her approach is collaborative - she supports clients as they try new ways of coping and make changes at their own pace.

With ten years of formal experience as an LPC, Diane combines respect for personal stories with straightforward tools. People who want a counselor who listens and offers clear options may find her approach useful. She conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of the work, with the therapist offering empathy and support while clients guide the pace and focus.

Diane will work collaboratively to find which approach or combination fits best. Early sessions are used to understand goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This makes it easier to move forward in ways that match personal needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or hands-free connection is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between sessions.
