About Diane
Diane Paseos is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep problems. She also supports people coping with career shifts, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and issues with self-esteem. Diane approaches difficult life changes in a calm, practical way that focuses on small, useful steps.
Her sessions are collaborative and centered on the person in front of her. She listens first to understand what feels most urgent, then works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. Diane draws on methods that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness, and behavior change rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She pairs this with mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and improve sleep habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people move from stuck to action when motivation is low.
She has experience supporting caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric issues, and those dealing with chronic health conditions and hospice or end-of-life concerns. Diane also addresses seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and loneliness with practical strategies tailored to each person’s life.
Sessions are designed to fit everyday life and to build skills that last. Diane prefers clear, down-to-earth conversation and concrete tools people can use between appointments.
How Diane Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without letting them drive behavior and to focus on values-based action. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with sleep and daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with clear steps and experiments to test new habits, which is often helpful for insomnia, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the client’s priorities guide the work and growth happens at the client’s pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane works collaboratively with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt strategies as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and support consistent follow-through on homework and sleep routines. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose a format that needs less bandwidth if preferred. Licensed professionals can help tailor sessions to practical needs while focusing on skills that improve rest and daily functioning.
