About Diana
Diana Hartwig is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She writes in a straightforward way and prioritizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach that makes difficult conversations easier to start. Diana draws on six years of practice to support people through hard moments and transitions.
Her sessions are client-centered and practical. She listens first, then helps people set small, measurable goals they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test more helpful behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to calm racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present. Motivational interviewing techniques help when someone is wrestling with change or substance use.
Narrative work and solution-focused steps are used to help people reframe painful experiences and build on what already works in their life. Diana adapts these tools to each person rather than following a fixed plan. She has experience with a broad range of concerns including depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar issues, and caregiver or aging-related stress.
Grief and loss are areas she has worked with extensively, including end-of-life and hospice-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Diana uses a strengths-based attitude and aims to make therapy a collaborative, actionable process.

How Diana's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them identify goals that matter in daily life. This approach is useful when someone needs validation and a clear plan to move forward.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. Online sessions can include worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice between meetings, which helps people see progress more clearly.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce stress and reactivity. These practices can be guided in a live video call or reinforced through short text-based check-ins between sessions.
Diana works with each person to find the best mix of methods. She treats the choice of approach as a conversation - trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor care to real-life needs.
Online formats provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or brief reflections. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in daily routines.
