About Diane
Diane Malone Kudolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience. She practices in Texas and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship challenges. Diane uses a straightforward, conversational style and aims to make sessions practical and usable for everyday life.
She centers sessions on the present while also paying attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. Diane listens closely and asks questions that help people notice and challenge unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to reconnect with their own values and make clearer choices about next steps. Diane uses several well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe life stories, Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic space, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns.
These methods are mixed to fit the problem at hand rather than applied rigidly. In practice she emphasizes simple skills and steady progress. Sessions often include gentle reflection, skill-building exercises, and practical steps to try between meetings.
Diane also brings attention to attachment and family dynamics when those areas affect daily life. People who prefer a direct yet warm approach may find her style helpful. She aims to help people reduce overwhelm, improve relationships, and make clearer choices for coping and change.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Diane directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Many of Diane’s approaches move easily into online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves by naming patterns and trying new interpretations, which can be done through conversation and written reflections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where the person leads the pace and topic of work, making it suitable for video or phone conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework, which can be shared and reviewed through chat or messaging.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will discuss goals, listen to preferences, and suggest which methods might fit best. Together the person and Diane adjust techniques over time depending on how things are progressing.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, brief reflections, or practicing written exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when in-person visits are not practical.
