About Dianne

Dianne Mack is an LCSW based in New York who brings three decades of clinical experience to work with clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to help people identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and clarify their goals. Her background includes addressing issues such as panic attacks, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and difficulties with communication and forgiveness.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversation and treatment plans to fit individual needs. Dianne draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when helpful, always aiming to support clients in practical ways that strengthen confidence and life purpose.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process focused on understanding their specific concerns and moving toward more satisfying, manageable daily living.

Online approaches that combine skills and connection

Many clients work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to learn practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and panic by examining thoughts, behaviors, and developing coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy can help those struggling with relationship patterns and feelings related to abandonment or difficulty trusting others by exploring relational history and current attachment needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people increase self-awareness and confidence while setting their own goals.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to explore which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can evolve over time, mixing skill-building, reflective work, and motivational techniques to match changing priorities.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allows for flexibility in when and how clients connect. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
