About Diane
Diane Stapleton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and life changes. She offers a calm presence and a straightforward way of working. Diane aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for someone who is worried or unsure.
Her sessions focus on creating a space where clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. She listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Practical strategies are paired with deeper reflection to address both immediate problems and longer-standing concerns. Diane blends approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered methods to keep the work collaborative. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to reframe unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to set small, achievable goals.
Jungian concepts may appear when exploring meaning, symbols, or recurring life themes. With more than two decades of experience, Diane is comfortable helping people cope with issues such as abandonment, body image struggles, family of origin problems, isolation, and guilt or shame. She also supports those facing aging and end-of-life concerns, first responder stress, and grief.
She works part time and typically conducts sessions midweek. The aim is steady progress at a pace that feels manageable, with an emphasis on practical change and clearer self-understanding.

Online support
How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Jungian Therapy looks at recurring themes, symbols, and personal meaning to help people understand deeper parts of their inner life. It can be useful for those who feel stuck, empty, or curious about life direction. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of each session and focuses on listening, acceptance, and building trust to help people speak openly and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes noticing thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and temperament. That may mean starting with skill-focused CBT for immediate relief, then exploring meaning with Jungian ideas over time. The plan evolves based on what’s helpful and what the person prefers.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, problem-solving between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep consistent work while balancing daily life.
