Diane Henning, LCPC

Diane Henning is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Diane aims to make therapy feel approachable and focused on what matters most to each person.

Diane creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk through painful experiences and everyday pressures. She centers conversations on practical steps for feeling steadier, improving relationships, and finding clearer direction in life. Sessions often focus on skills for coping, building self-esteem, and managing strong emotions.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods to fit different needs. Diane uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Mindfulness and client-centered approaches help slow things down and make room for what matters most. Dialectical behavior ideas offer concrete tools for managing distress and improving emotional regulation. Diane adapts methods to what a person prefers and needs in the moment.

Her background includes long-term practice with adults facing life changes, caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction concerns, grief, and aging-related worries. Diane works at a pace set by the client, focusing on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that reflect those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to lessen reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s daily life and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid commuting time. It can also let people use sessions while managing caregiving duties or health-related limitations. Licensed professionals will help tailor session length and focus to the client’s needs rather than offering one fixed approach.
