About Diane
Diane Bahr is a licensed counselor and medical doctor with 15 years of clinical experience. She came to this work after facing her own losses and learning how therapy helped her heal. Diane focuses on helping people make practical changes in thinking and behavior so daily life feels more manageable.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Then she helps set clear goals and small steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level. Diane works with a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, self-esteem and career questions. She also supports people facing midlife challenges, commitment or control issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thoughts and actions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help keep work practical and goal-oriented. She explains ideas in plain language and focuses on what can change now.
People can expect a warm, direct style that balances empathy and structure. Diane helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. She aims for honest conversations and occasional lightness as part of the healing process.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online therapy
Diane often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps clients feel heard and guides the work by their own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test simple behavioral changes that reduce distress.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Diane discusses options with each person and tailors methods to their needs, goals, and pace. She checks in regularly to refine the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video works well for deeper sessions when face-to-face cues help. Phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick updates, homework check-ins, or times when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied comfort levels.
