Diane Hendricks, LCSW, LSCSW

Diane Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and the emotional impact of illness or caregiving. Diane works from Kansas and brings 15 years of experience to her practice.

Diane meets people where they are and moves at a comfortable pace. Her style is client-centered, straightforward, and warm. She aims to be nonjudgmental and easy to talk with, and she believes small moments of humor can be healing.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and try practical changes. She also uses emotionally focused and mindfulness approaches to help people tune into feelings and cope with strong emotions. Diane blends these methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed plan.

Practical therapies for online care

Many people benefit from clear, practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and supports choices, helping people feel heard and understood as they work through difficult issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift strong emotions that affect relationships and intimacy.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then try methods together. That collaborative process lets the plan change as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill work and emotional processing. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to connect around daily life and keep continuity between sessions.
