Diane Malone Kudolo , LPC

Diane Malone Kudolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience working with a range of populations, including high-risk youth and adults. She has focused much of her work on emotional disturbances such as depression, trauma, anxiety, strained relationships, and grief, helping people navigate difficult life chapters and regain a sense of direction.

Her approach emphasizes the present moment and practical change - bringing what is unknown into view, identifying and challenging faulty thinking patterns, and supporting clients in reconnecting with themselves so they can make choices that improve quality of life. Diane combines listening skills, genuineness, empathy, unconditional acceptance, and respect to create a therapeutic environment in which clients can explore their concerns and build new coping strategies.

Trained in approaches that support emotional healing and relational repair, she works collaboratively with clients to set realistic goals and to develop steps toward greater well-being. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to engage in thoughtful, person-focused care.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Diane Malone Kudolo integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and values and supports personal growth. CBT helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. DBT offers structured strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for those coping with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diane works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they tailor interventions and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
