About Diane

Diane Bahr brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Maryland. She holds an MD and practices as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. Diane’s own life challenges shaped her interest in therapy and how she supports people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Online support

Practical approaches for online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps people feel heard and decide their next steps at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Diane uses simple CBT tools to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more realistic, motivating ideas that change behavior.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, career shifts, or any situation where someone feels stuck and unsure about taking the next step.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Diane treats approach selection as a collaboration and will adjust techniques based on the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
