About Dianne
Dianne Mack is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. Her work also focuses on self-esteem, motivation, and life direction.
She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Dianne uses a mix of practical talk and body-aware methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body.
Background and approach
She often blends somatic awareness with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to help clients feel understood and safe. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are used when people want skills to change thinking patterns and manage panic or worry. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs.
Dianne listens first, then partners with clients to set clear goals. She offers straightforward strategies and breathing or grounding exercises when anxiety or panic appear. For grief or loss, she helps people find ways to remember, process, and move forward at their own pace.
Dianne also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and life transitions. She works with concerns about money stress, midlife questions, and men’s issues with the same practical focus. Her aim is to support small, doable changes that make daily life easier.
Many clients appreciate having a calm, steady presence while they work through hard feelings. Dianne helps people build coping skills, clarify life purpose, and regain confidence one step at a time.
How somatic and attachment approaches work online
Somatic work pays attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided breathing, gentle grounding, and noticing body signals while talking about triggers. This helps when anxiety, panic, or chronic pain are part of the issue.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect current trust, communication, and feelings of safety. In teletherapy this approach uses steady, empathic conversation to help clients try new ways of relating and to rebuild trust in themselves and others.
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. This helps people feel heard and make choices that match their values.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions evolve based on what helps most, whether that is skill-building, body awareness, or deeper relationship work.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text messaging provide short check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care around work, family, or health constraints.
