✨Because we’re all a work in progress✨
Therapy & Career Counseling for Working Women
I help working women navigate burnout, returning to work, and career transitions using a unique combination of clinical therapy and career and personality assessments — including the MBTI® and WOWI — so you can understand yourself more deeply and build a life that actually works.
about me
Hi, I'm Diane!
Hi, I’m Diane — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with women navigating the messy, demanding reality of modern work life.
Whether you're stretched thin trying to hold everything together, burned out in a role that once felt meaningful, questioning whether your career still fits the life you've built, or returning to work after time away — you're in the right place.
What makes my approach different is that I don’t just help you process how you’re feeling — I help you understand why, and give you a real roadmap forward. I combine clinical therapy with career and personality assessments, including the MBTI® and WOWI, to help you understand how you're wired, what you need to thrive, and what’s actually getting in your way.
Most of my clients come in feeling like they’re falling short at work and at home at the same time. They leave with clarity about who they are, what they want, and how to get there — without sacrificing everything else in the process.
I founded A Work in Progress Counseling & Wellness because working women deserve more than survival mode. You deserve a space where progress matters more than perfection — and where you can finally put yourself back on the list.
about you
Maybe You're...
Doing everything you can at work and at home — and completely falling apart on the inside.
Lying awake at night running through tomorrow’s to-do list while everyone else sleeps.
Dreading Monday before the weekend is even over.
Wondering if your career still fits the person you’ve become.
Back at work after having a baby and wondering why it feels so much harder than you expected.
Wondering if this is really what you worked so hard for — and feeling guilty for even thinking it.
Feeling like everyone else has it figured out while you’re just barely keeping up.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re in exactly the right place.
So many working women find themselves here: giving everything to their job and their family while running on empty. The good news is that it doesn’t have to stay this way. Together, we’ll go beyond just coping and help you gain real clarity about who you are, what you need, and what comes next.
my expertise
What I Help With
My clients are working women who are burned out, at a career crossroads, or navigating the emotional weight of major life and work transitions. I combine clinical therapy with career and personality assessments to help you gain real clarity — not just feel better, but understand yourself more deeply.
Here’s a glimpse at what we explore together:
Burnout & Career Clarity
If you’re exhausted, disconnected, or dreading work you once cared about, something needs to change. Together, we’ll uncover what’s driving the burnout — and whether the path forward involves new boundaries, a role change, or something bigger.
Returning to Work
Going back to work is harder than anyone tells you. We’ll work through the guilt, anxiety, and identity shift so you can show up with confidence — at work and at home. Career and personality assessments can provide added clarity about your strengths, needs, and direction.
Career Assessments
Through MBTI® and WOWI assessments integrated with therapy, we’ll move beyond surface-level career advice to understand how you’re wired, what environments support your well-being, and what meaningful work truly looks like for you.
how we meet
Therapy that works for real life
Therapy should be accessible, flexible, and grounded in your real life. With virtual sessions, you can meet from the comfort of your home, office, or any private space. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera—like a phone, laptop, or tablet.
I offer virtual therapy to adults located in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Utah.
Why I Love Telehealth
Virtual therapy can make it easier to care for your mental health—especially when life feels full.
- Skip the commute and meet from wherever you are
- Wear comfy clothes (yes, even sweats)
- Fit sessions into your day—like lunch breaks or before school pick-up
- Show up as you are—no pressure, no waiting room
Frequently Asked Questions
You might be wondering...
I'm burned out but not sure I need therapy — could this still help?
Yes. Many of my clients don't come in "in crisis" — they come in exhausted, stuck, and ready for something to change. You don't need to be falling apart to benefit from this work. If you're running on empty and want real clarity about what needs to shift, that's enough of a reason to reach out.
I'm a working mom — is this for me?
Absolutely. Working mothers are exactly who I built this practice for. Whether you're returning to work after raising your family, stretched thin trying to do it all, or questioning whether your career still fits your life — you're in the right place. We'll work on the emotional side and the practical side, together.
I don't know if my problem is career-related or emotional — does that matter?
Not at all — and honestly, it's usually both. Career stress and emotional wellbeing are deeply connected. Women often come in thinking they have a career problem and discover there's something deeper underneath. Others come for therapy and realize their work environment is a big part of what's driving their anxiety. We'll figure it out together.
I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t really help — how is this different?
My approach goes beyond emotional support alone. I integrate clinical therapy with career and personality assessments (MBTI® & WOWI) to help you understand how you’re wired and identify concrete next steps. If previous therapy helped you cope but didn’t provide clear direction, this work is designed to bridge that gap.
I barely have time to breathe — how do I fit this in?
This is the most common thing I hear from working women. Virtual sessions mean no commute, no waiting room, and no extra hour carved out of your day. A lunch break, after the kids are in bed, between meetings — if you have 50 minutes and a private space, we can make it work.
Do you take insurance?
This is a private-pay practice, and I do not bill insurance directly. Many clients are still able to use out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement.
I partner with Thrizer, a secure service that can estimate your reimbursement and expected cost per session before you begin. If you choose, they can also submit claims on your behalf, so you don’t have to manage the paperwork.
You can check your benefits using the link on this site — there’s no obligation to schedule.
