Diane Dodt
LPC • Licensed Professional Counselor
About
From the vibrant streets of New Orleans to the serene landscapes of nature, Diane Dodt, LPC, brings a wealth of experience and a unique approach to mental wellness. As a licensed professional counselor at The Well Collective Mental Health Counseling, Diane offers a versatile range of therapeutic settings, including in-office sessions, teletherapy, visits to senior care facilities, and innovative outdoor therapy experiences.
Diane's journey to becoming a mental health practitioner is as diverse as her therapeutic approach. With a background that includes 10 years in business administration, 12 years as a pre-school teacher, and 15 years operating an Art-Entertainment business in New Orleans, Diane brings a rich tapestry of life experiences to her counseling practice. Her educational foundation in Early Childhood Education, coupled with post-graduate studies in Counselor Education, has equipped her with a deep understanding of human development across the lifespan.
At the heart of Diane's practice is Anthetic Therapy, a skills-based approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. This phenomenological method allows Diane to start with each client's unique experiences and guide them towards profound healing, inner freedom, and expanded life options. She is adept at teaching specific skills that provide immediate relief from presenting issues, empowering her clients with practical tools for personal growth.
Diane's therapeutic toolkit is further enhanced by her training in various specialized techniques. She incorporates elements of Reminiscence Therapy and a "BRUSH with Nature" approach, creatively igniting the natural child-like wisdom within her clients. Her expertise extends to Art Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Crisis Counseling, allowing her to tailor her approach to each client's needs.
With a contagious compassion and depth of empathy, Diane creates a welcoming environment where clients can truly "come as they are and leave different." Her unique blend of professional training and personal life experiences, full of love and loss, enables her to connect deeply with clients of all ages. Whether working with adults in developmental therapy or guiding seniors through life transitions, Diane's goal remains constant: to provide a developmental journey towards health and healing that is as unique as each individual she serves.
