About Dianne
Dianne Dabney is an LPC based in Texas who works with adults across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and addictions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes practical skills that help clients manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central framework while integrating other evidence-informed tools to meet each person where they are.
With five years of professional experience, Dianne focuses on teaching usable strategies and collaborative problem solving so clients can navigate life changes, caregiving challenges, family conflict, and co-occurring concerns such as ADHD or bipolar symptoms. Her background includes work with both individual and family issues as well as faith-informed perspectives when requested.
She aims to help people strengthen communication, cope with loss, and rebuild confidence through structured interventions and supportive guidance. Dianne’s practice highlights practical application of therapeutic principles and a goal-oriented style that blends CBT with client-centered attention and elements from approaches like DBT and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when appropriate.
She offers services in English to clients located in Texas and uses formats that fit varying schedules and needs.
Evidence-Informed Methods Adapted for Online Work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical homework, which can be well suited to online formats when clients want clear tools to manage anxiety, depression, or stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people explore feelings and priorities at their own pace; this approach supports collaborative goal setting and can complement more structured techniques. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often taught through skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, provides concrete strategies useful for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and challenges and then tailor a mix of methods that fit those needs. This means sessions may combine skills practice, reflective conversation, and task-oriented exercises to create a treatment plan that evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy with Dianne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options allow for flexible scheduling, ongoing skills practice between meetings, and continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and therapeutic connection.
