Diana Barfoot, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Colorado

About Diana

Diana Barfoot is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings six years of mental health experience to her work. Diana focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what is hard and begin to make changes.

She keeps language straightforward and practical so busy parents can follow along during a short break in the day. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are.

Background and approach

Sessions often include clear, hands-on tools to manage stress and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.

Diana also draws on mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to reduce reactivity and stay present. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want quick, goal-oriented steps to move forward. Together these methods support work on concerns like depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

She pays attention to shame, codependency, isolation, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic internet use. Diana aims to help people discover more self-love and purpose while handling life transitions. Her tone is steady and encouraging, focused on realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Practical matters are part of the process. Sessions may be scheduled in ways that fit a parent’s day, and treatment plans are adjusted as needs change.

Approaches and online therapy that fit a busy life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client leads the conversation and sets the pace; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to work through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try different methods as needed. Decisions about tools and techniques are made together so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions are flexible for short breaks, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to use therapy in the flow of daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
