Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates a respectful space, checks understanding often, and helps people decide the pace and goals that feel right. This approach supports people coping with life changes, stress, and parenting challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new behaviors for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Sessions often include specific exercises and small steps to practice between meetings.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Diana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. She combines approaches where helpful and checks in regularly to make sure the plan remains useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people send updates, ask questions between sessions, or have brief check-ins when schedules are tight.
