Diane Paseos

Diane Paseos is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Diane brings 25 years of clinical experience and a calm, practical presence to sessions.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She works with each person to pinpoint what is getting in the way and to set realistic, step-by-step goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use outside the therapy hour, and progress is tracked in ways that fit each person's life.

Diane draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She adapts these methods to match a person’s needs rather than following a fixed protocol. That means some weeks involve skill practice and homework, and other weeks are more about listening and problem solving.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Social Work and long experience supporting adults through transitions, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and periods of isolation or loss. Diane works from Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients.

People who value straightforward guidance and practical tools often find her approach helpful. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own answers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and shifting if something isn’t helping.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into daily life, for example by saving commute time, allowing workbreak check-ins, or using video for skill practice and screen sharing to review worksheets. Diane aims to shape sessions so they fit into everyday routines while addressing real problems and building practical skills.
