Diane Trosch, LPC

Diane Trosch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, caregiver challenges, and addiction concerns. She focuses on practical steps that help clients manage anger, ADHD symptoms, grief, and major life changes. Diane also helps with career concerns, self-esteem, and issues that often affect women and caregivers.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are nonjudgmental and geared toward helping people clarify goals and take manageable steps forward. Diane listens for the patterns that get in the way and offers straightforward tools to break them.

She uses approaches such as client-centered therapy to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and motivational interviewing to support change when needed. These methods are mixed to suit each person’s situation.

In practice Diane helps clients work through codependency, communication problems, substance use struggles, compassion fatigue, and feelings of isolation. She supports people dealing with seasonal mood shifts, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose. Her work often centers on building resilience and restoring a sense of self-worth.

People who choose Diane can expect a practical, steady approach that balances listening with action. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and current goals, then outlines small steps clients can take between sessions.

How Diane’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a steady space to sort out caregiving stress, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses clear steps and exercises to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and some addiction behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment, useful for stress and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Diane works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical progress rather than one fixed method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools through remote sessions, and Diane will discuss what works best for scheduling and the session style during intake.
