About Diane

Diane McCollum brings more than 20 years of clinical experience to her counseling practice in Texas.

Background and approach

As an LPC and LMFT, she draws on a humanist-spiritual foundation and a family systems perspective to help clients navigate life transitions and complex challenges such as trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her own positive experience with counseling informs a collaborative stance that views people as resourceful rather than defined by pathology.

She emphasizes a therapeutic alliance built on mutual respect, clear communication, and consistent boundaries, and she aims to role model dignity and compassion in sessions. Diane encourages clients to set personalized treatment goals and partners with them to explore how past experiences may influence present patterns.

Her blend of empathy and practical guidance supports clients working through coping with life changes, stress, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of additional concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Diane commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, or life transitions. CBT concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting techniques over time so treatment aligns with each person's needs and circumstances.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they offer options for people who benefit from varied communication styles or scheduling needs.
