About Diane
Diane J Gores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship questions, and changes in life. She welcomes direct conversations about feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and brings 12 years of combined experience in mental health work.
Background and approach
Diane emphasizes brief, focused approaches that aim to move people from where they are now toward clearer goals. She uses straightforward language and collaborative planning rather than complex clinical talk. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to build on what already works.
She also uses client-centered principles, so sessions center on the person’s priorities and pace. The result is a mix of problem-solving, skill practice, and reflection. Diane is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, substance issues, self-esteem, body image, workplace stress, and identity-related matters.
She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and veteran and armed forces issues. Conversations often include goal setting, practical coping tools, and small experiments to try between appointments. She offers sessions online by video, phone, chat, or messaging.
That flexibility lets people fit counseling into busy schedules and keep momentum while juggling work and family demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps clients name priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, doable steps and what is already working so people can build momentum toward their goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed to find the best fit.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging make it possible to check in between appointments or for shorter, focused exchanges. These options help people access consistent care without long commutes and let them pick the format that works best for their day-to-day life.
