Diana also helps people work through parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and challenges related to adoption or aging. She addresses issues across a wide range of topics including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect calm, direct conversations that focus on what matters in day-to-day life. Diana aims to help people find practical steps they can try between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs and goals.
Her practice is based in Indiana and the speaking language is English. People who want to begin the process complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Diana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person. Online sessions can still follow this style by using conversation and reflection to shape goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can be assigned and reviewed remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and coping skills that translate well to a paced, skills-based online format.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into work or caregiving routines, and reduce commute time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and lets people practice skills in their usual environment. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and plans so they work in everyday life.
