About Diane

Diane Malone Kudolo brings 19 years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. As an LPC, she has worked with people facing depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and other challenges that affect daily functioning.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting those navigating intense life transitions and emotional disturbances while offering practical tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day quality of life. Her way of working centers on the present moment and on helping clients notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

She combines listening skills, genuine empathy, and respect with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge faulty thoughts and build healthier habits. Diane also draws from client-centered techniques to support self-exploration and from emotion-focused and relational approaches when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are central.

She aims to help clients increase self-awareness, make intentional choices, and develop coping skills that fit their lives. Diane emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and practical steps so clients can move toward improved functioning and a better sense of balance.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change



Diane commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their values and build self-understanding, which supports personal growth and clearer decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane partners with each client to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques from these approaches to match what feels most useful. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so treatment stays aligned with the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats allow clients to access therapy from their home or workplace and to continue consistent care when in-person meetings are impractical. The variety of options makes it easier to maintain momentum and apply skills in everyday life.
