About Diana
She has worked in community clinics, treatment centers, hospitals, and private practice. That range of settings means she has seen many ways problems show up and change over time. Diana describes her approach as eclectic - she uses ideas from different types of therapy to match each person’s needs.
In sessions she focuses on listening for what isn’t always said and on practical steps that can ease daily life. She draws on Client-Centered methods to create a respectful space and uses Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior ideas when thinking about thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform how she helps people make meaning and find motivation.
Her background includes work related to geriatric mental health and substance use concerns, and she has supported people dealing with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, eating and body-image problems, and chronic emptiness. Diana seeks to tailor the work to each person’s story and goals.
To get started she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on available times.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and respected while they talk through difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits related to sleep, eating, or substance use because it teaches practical skills to change patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and behaviors that feel out of control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
