Diane Stapleton

Diane Stapleton is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported. Diane keeps a calm, nonjudgmental approach so people can talk about difficult feelings and life events.

She emphasizes an open space where thoughts and emotions can be named. Diane listens first, and then works with each person to find approaches that fit their life. She values practical tools alongside deeper conversation so clients leave sessions with something to try.

With over two decades of work in Colorado, Diane brings long experience to everyday problems. She is semi-retired and sees clients on Wednesdays through Fridays. That schedule lets her focus on thoughtful, steady care rather than quick fixes.

Diane draws from client-centered therapy to keep the client’s experience central. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods when those approaches match a person’s goals. Other influences include existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning or personal narrative.

People who choose Diane often want a straightforward, compassionate guide for coping with life changes, grief, isolation, or family-origin issues. She supports practical steps for communication, managing guilt and shame, and easing impulsivity. The emphasis is on collaboration and on building skills that help day-to-day life.
