About Diane

Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and many related challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a person-centered stance, meeting each client where they are and moving at a pace that feels manageable. Diane draws on work across psychiatric settings and has experience supporting seniors, hospice patients, veterans and first responders, and members of the LGBTQ community, which informs a broad, flexible approach to care.

Her manner is described as compassionate, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental, with an openness to humor when appropriate. Diane blends client-centered principles with evidence-based techniques to help people clarify goals, build coping strategies, and find pathways to greater resilience.

She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas and holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials. Diane practices from Kansas and offers several online session formats for those who prefer remote options.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own goals; the therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people explore their experiences and make choices that feel authentic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop alternative strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reshape emotional responses in relationships, creating opportunities for more supported and connected interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining techniques when appropriate and adjusting over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into a busy life and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not practical. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style so clients can choose what feels most comfortable while working toward their therapeutic goals.
