About Dianne
Dianne Dabney, LPC, focuses on helping people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She works with adults and older adults who need support moving through loss, relationship strain, or caregiving stress.

Dianne primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on Client-Centered approaches to make space for each person’s values and goals. Sessions tend to include simple exercises, gradual behavior changes, and clear takeaways to practice between meetings.
Her background includes five years of clinical experience in Texas and a focus on grief and hospice-related concerns among other areas. She emphasizes teaching practical skills and helping people apply them in daily life. That includes strategies for coping with anxiety, managing mood shifts, and improving communication.

If someone needs help sorting through an immediate problem or planning longer-term changes, she aims to offer focused, usable steps. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs, whether the goal is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, or steadier routines.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to clarify their own priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, useful for intense mood swings or distress tolerance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that centers the person’s needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also let sessions focus on short skill practice, written exercises, and step-by-step plans that are easy to try between meetings.
