About Dianne
Dianne Dabney is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other life challenges listed under her specialties. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Dianne primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered principles, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit a person’s goals. That gives room for focused skill work as well as attention to feelings and interaction patterns.
Her practice emphasizes teaching concrete skills. That can include coping tools for anxiety, communication habits to reduce conflict, and strategies for parenting stress and addiction-related struggles. She describes her work as practical and educational, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and daily demands.
Dianne’s background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and experience working with adults across a range of concerns. She notes experience with marriage and family topics and with faith-based counseling in prior roles. The LPC credential is used as her professional licensure in Texas.
People looking for help with anger, intimacy-related issues, bipolar or ADHD-related challenges can expect short, focused interventions alongside longer conversations about patterns. Readers should confirm current session formats before booking to match logistics with their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with distress, parenting stress, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviors tied to anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dianne will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, current struggles, and personal preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasize. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and therapy can mix skill work and deeper relational focus.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People often find it helpful to practice CBT or DBT skills between sessions and bring questions to the next meeting so therapy fits real-life parenting and household rhythms.
