About Diane
Diane Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. Diane aims to offer a respectful, person-centered space where people can name their struggles and make clear plans for change.
Diane takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. She listens for the story a person brings and helps examine how that story shapes daily life.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and rooted in what matters most to each person she sees. She works alongside clients to set small, reachable goals and to notice progress over time. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy while mixing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques when useful.
That blend supports both understanding life patterns and trying concrete new behaviors. Sessions emphasize clear steps, skills practice, and reflection rather than jargon. People who struggle with codependency, abandonment fears, communication problems, guilt or shame, aging concerns, avoidant personality traits, or the transitions of young adulthood may find this approach helpful.
Diane also supports women’s issues and family-related problems by focusing on individual needs and goals. She has a decade of counseling experience and adapts conversations to each person’s pace. Diane welcomes sessions in English and accepts international clients when scheduling allows.

Online session options
Using narrative and practical approaches online
Diane blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity so new possibilities can be noticed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life while teaching ways to tolerate difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-directed goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and preference. The aim is to combine understanding with practical steps that fit daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill work, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates and reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
