Diane Haskill, LCSW

Diane Haskill is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people during overwhelming times. She meets clients where they are, listens without judgment, and works with them to identify immediate problems and practical next steps. Diane focuses on clear, doable plans so people can move forward from crisis or ongoing stress.

Her background includes long experience in social work and many years helping people with relationship and communication problems. She also supports those facing grief, loss, addiction, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and boundaries. Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation and problem-solving rather than jargon.

In sessions she offers a calm, open environment for people to share thoughts and feelings. Diane uses approaches that help people look at unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered ideas to shape work around each person’s priorities.

Sessions often begin by identifying one or two manageable goals and then testing small changes between meetings. Diane talks through options, suggests practical strategies, and checks in on how those steps feel and work in daily life. The pace and focus are adjusted to the person’s needs.

As someone who has spent decades in social work, she brings patience and direct problem-solving to the room. People come for help with stress, depression, anxiety, parenting strain, intimacy and anger issues, and to cope with life changes. Diane aims to make therapy a useful, hopeful experience that leads to concrete progress.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means Diane encourages people to lead the conversation, names what she hears, and adapts the pace and focus based on each person’s needs. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thinking, feeling, and behavior. Diane uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and measure what improves. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem habits like substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to try first and will adjust methods based on progress and preference. Goals, tolerances, and life demands help shape the plan together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and keep continuity when life gets disrupted. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. The practical aim is to make therapy fit everyday life while using client-centered conversation and CBT-based steps to support change.
