About Diane Hendricks
Diane Hendricks, LCSW, LSCSW, is a clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her work with adults facing emotional pain, life transitions, and the kinds of challenges that can feel hard to name out loud. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kansas and has spent much of her career in psychiatric settings, with professional experience that includes senior counseling, hospice, and supporting Veterans and First Responders. She has also worked with the LGBTQ+ community and approaches each person as an individual rather than a category.

Diane aims to meet people where they are and to walk alongside them as they move toward greater self-understanding and healing. She recognizes that reaching out for help can be difficult, especially in a culture that often discourages open conversations about emotional pain.
In sessions, Diane strives to offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and easy-to-talk-with presence. When it fits the moment, she also welcomes appropriate humor as part of the healing process. She focuses on the client’s lived experience and current concerns, helping create space for honest reflection and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Diane Hendricks uses a client-centered style, which means therapy begins with what matters most to the client right now. Sessions focus on understanding the client’s lived experience and moving at a pace that feels manageable, which can be especially helpful when someone is feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or hesitant about opening up.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. CBT can support clients who want practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns that show up in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy may be included as well, helping clients build awareness of what is happening in the moment and practice steadier ways of responding to strong emotions and pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, adjusting the work so it fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy, even with a busy schedule, changing routines, or limited access to in-person care.
