About Diana

Diana Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor who uses an approachable, person-centered style. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family tensions. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel easier for worried parents and family members.

Diana draws on twenty years of experience providing practical help with relationship strains and life changes. Sessions are built around clear goals and everyday strategies that can be practiced between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going. Her work often addresses trauma, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress with calm, step-by-step methods. For family concerns she helps people sort communication problems and plan next steps during separation or divorce.

She also supports those dealing with workplace stress and social anxiety. Diana blends several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable alternatives.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and family members understand emotional patterns that shape interactions. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Sessions are available from New York and conducted in English.

Diana holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, NY LMHC 000582, and uses a straightforward, collaborative process to match therapeutic tools to each family’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps parents and family members feel heard and work toward clearer communication and shared goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and managing day-to-day stress in family life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Diana works together with clients to decide which methods fit best for their situation and goals. That collaborative step makes it easier to try techniques and adjust course if something does not feel helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when in-person visits are hard. Phone sessions can work for shorter check-ins, while live chat and text messaging let parents share brief updates or get support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and keep care consistent over time.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
