About Diane

Diane Williams is an Arkansas licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings eight years of clinical experience across outpatient, residential, faith-based, and independent practice settings. She works with adults confronting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and transitions in life.

Background and approach

Diane also focuses on communication difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, mood disorders, self-love, and social anxiety. Her style is warm, interactive, and compassionate, with an emphasis on helping clients find and use their voice during the therapeutic process.

Diane blends practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, client-centered principles, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She frames the work as collaborative, empowering clients to build skills and make meaningful changes.

Clients can expect straightforward, respectful care aimed at clarifying goals and developing tools for coping and growth. Diane’s varied background in multiple clinical settings informs a flexible approach that honors individual values and strengths while addressing immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, often using structured exercises and skill practice between sessions to target anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness through skills training and validation techniques that can be useful for intense emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Diane approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the mix of CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or mindfulness-based practices to suit each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow people to access care from home or while traveling. These options support ongoing skill-building and consistent contact so clients can practice techniques between sessions and maintain momentum toward their goals.
