About Diane
Diane Cantwell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer grounded, practical support. Diane writes plainly and focuses on clear steps clients can use between sessions.
She describes her approach as hands-on and collaborative. Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift small behaviors that make a big difference. She also offers hypnotherapy as an additional tool when appropriate.
Diane’s background includes a past as an award-winning gymnast who recovered from a serious injury. That experience shaped how she thinks about resilience and problem solving. She also developed Body Bingo, a Parents' Choice Gold Award-winning program that encourages healthier routines for families.
In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable pieces. Parents can expect practical ideas for everyday parenting challenges alongside attention to relationships and self-care. Diane aims to create plans that fit into a person’s real life and daily schedule.
Her work emphasizes skills people can practice outside therapy. That can mean changing a thought pattern, trying a new conversation style, or practicing brief mindfulness and behavioral experiments. Diane partners with each person to track progress and adjust strategies over time.
Using CBT and Hypnotherapy for Practical Change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice the thoughts that keep them stuck and try small behavior changes to test new ways of living. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and stress management and focuses on skills you can practice between appointments.Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift habits, reduce anxiety, or reinforce new behaviors. It can be used alongside talk-based work when someone wants additional tools for managing stress or changing unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time. Together you decide whether CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix fits best for the issue at hand and daily life needs.
