About Diane

Diane Cantwell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with twenty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing anger, career decisions, life changes, and issues like body image, divorce and separation, and social anxiety. Diane writes plainly and works to make therapy practical and understandable for everyday life.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Diane also uses hypnotherapy as a tool to access motivation and reduce anxiety when it fits a person's goals. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and simple skills you can use right away. Diane’s background includes time as a competitive gymnast and the experience of recovering from a serious injury.

That history shaped her interest in resilience, movement, and how the body and mind interact. She created Body Bingo, a Parents’ Choice Gold Award initiative that encourages healthier family routines. In sessions she combines practical problem-solving with gentle encouragement.

Diane helps people set achievable goals, practice new habits, and track progress over time. She explains techniques in plain language and adapts tools to each person’s daily life. People who want a direct, task-focused approach often find her style helpful.

She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start and to leave clients with skills they can apply on their own.

How Diane’s Approaches Work Online

Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and hypnotherapy in ways that translate well to remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes short homework tasks and structured exercises that are easy to do between video or phone sessions. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to increase motivation and reduce anxiety. In online sessions it can be delivered through calm, step-by-step audio and verbal guidance tailored to each person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Diane will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels doable. She adapts methods based on progress and what the person finds most helpful, so the plan can change as needed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or writing through thoughts when speaking feels hard. These options give flexibility to match a person’s schedule and communication style.
