About Diane
Diane Tomlin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and challenges such as addiction and trauma. Diane also focuses on life purpose questions and adjustment after major life changes.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk to help people name what feels stuck and try practical ways to move forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s concerns.
Diane often helps people manage sleep problems, anger, parenting stress, and caregiver strain. She also supports those dealing with separation, domestic violence aftermath, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Career uncertainty, loneliness, guilt, and shame are among other issues she addresses.
Her style emphasizes clear goals and small steps - for example adjusting daily routines, practicing new communication habits, or trying short behavioral experiments between sessions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused tools are used when people want concrete options and quick strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Diane Uses ACT and CBT in Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions based on those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck and unsure what to do next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change reactions in relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's concerns at their pace. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are added when someone wants brief, practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals and everyday life. That choice can change as needs become clearer.
