Professional statement

Diane Giancaspro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New Buffalo, MI. Diane enjoys supporting individuals who struggle with anxiety, postpartum depression, relationship challenges, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, and low self-esteem. She is particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA community, and is an affirming therapist who strives to empower clients to feel whole, happy, and enough.

Diane draws from many therapy approaches in her work with clients. She encourages clients to set goals for themselves, whether that’s building a stronger relationship with a loved one, overcoming bad associations with a certain environment, or managing distressing emotions. As a solutions-focused therapist, she then helps clients reach those goals by thoughtfully breaking them down into smaller steps. She also incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness therapy so clients can grow their understanding of themselves and feel more confident in who they are.

Diane holds a Master’s degree in Social Work. She believes that each individual she meets has innate strengths and resilience that can help them overcome life’s roadblocks. She strives to show her clients that they are strong and that they deserve to feel happy and fulfilled in their lives.
