Diana also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, career transitions, and identity questions such as LGBT concerns.

How Diana Uses Practical Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Diana listens first and follows the individual's lead to identify goals and steps forward, which can help with stress, relationship strain, and identity questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Diana helps people try small experiments to shift thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools are often helpful when strong emotions come up or when someone needs clearer ways to manage conflict and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana collaborates with each person to pick and adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts course together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
