Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Diana often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead - this approach is useful for building trust, exploring values, and working through life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and coping challenges.She may also draw from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or tolerance for distress are priorities. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust strategies as needed.
Online therapy with Diana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from home or work, and use sessions in ways that support real-life routines and responsibilities.
