Diana Kelly, LCSW, CSW, LIMHP

Diana Kelly brings a straightforward, people-first approach to therapy. She is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW, CSW, and LIMHP credentials and more than five decades of experience. Diana focuses on practical conversation and steady support so people can take the next step toward feeling better.

Diana helps with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also works with concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. Her practice includes additional attention to aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, personality disorders, and traumatic brain injury.

Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities. Diana listens carefully and shapes the dialogue to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to identify small, usable steps forward.

She describes therapy as a partnership that respects each person’s background and values. People can expect sensitivity and compassion along with straightforward guidance. Diana encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes or losses to consider a conversation about next steps.

To begin, she asks people to share their concerns so she can tailor a plan that fits their situation and goals. The emphasis is on practical, understandable work that people can use between sessions.

Client-centered care and online support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and tailoring sessions to the individual. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that feel meaningful. This approach can help with stress, grief, relationship concerns, mood struggles, and coping with health-related changes.

Because the work is collaborative, the therapist and client decide together which methods will be most helpful. Diana will ask about needs, preferences, and goals, then adjust the way she works so sessions feel useful and manageable. Finding the right fit is part of the process rather than a one-time choice.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions around your daily life and priorities so the work supports real changes without overwhelming your routine.
