About Diana
Diana Grello is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She draws on 13 years of experience to offer calm, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Diana frames clients as the experts on their own lives and partners with them to find workable steps forward.
Her style is down-to-earth and goal focused. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals that fit their daily lives.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning rather than rely on jargon or rigid exercises. Diana uses a mix of approaches based on what a person needs. She commonly blends cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based work to build tolerance for hard feelings, and attachment-informed ideas to improve close relationships.
She also draws from client-centered and emotion-focused methods when exploring personal values and feelings. Parents often come to Diana for help with communication, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and managing guilt or shame. She offers practical tools for setting boundaries, improving routines, and handling conflict without assigning blame.
In sessions she emphasizes compassionate curiosity and steady problem solving. The goal is clearer thinking, more effective choices, and greater confidence in managing life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions toward them even when uncomfortable emotions are present. It helps people tolerate hard feelings so they can act in ways that matter to them, which can be useful for parents wrestling with guilt or role stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers clear, practical techniques for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building new habits to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Diana works collaboratively to see which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. That means clients and therapist try different strategies together until they find what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people keep a face-to-face feel without commuting. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing problem solving, and support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency while juggling parenting and work commitments.
