About

Welcome to Find A Therapist!

My name is Brian Diehl, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. I have worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal difficulties and concerns such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting, military trauma, diagnostic uncertainty, and Skill Building needs. While I have training and am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), I consider myself a Humanist first. This means I have a strong interest in and concern for human welfare, values, and dignity. Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively. As a Licensed Social Worker, Dignity and Worth of the Person is one of the Ethical Principles.

My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort one feels with the person chosen to share personal struggles. A therapeutic relationship is not dissimilar to any other relationship in that trust, belief and comfort are essential. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship keeps our other relationships safe.


You are welcome to message me anytime through Find A Therapist. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so please always check with me through messaging first.

I look forward to working with you!
