Diana Najera, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Diana

Diana Najera is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of clinical experience to each conversation. Diana emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so families and individuals can find steadier ground.

She welcomes questions and values the courage it takes to begin therapy. In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

She helps people name problems, sort options, and try small, concrete changes between meetings. Diana draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify what matters and move toward it. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Narrative Therapy is used to help people retell their stories in ways that feel more empowering. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term planning and practical problem solving. Diana has experience addressing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, postpartum depression, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

She aims for straightforward guidance rather than jargon. Parents reading on a phone will find brief, direct communication and a focus on usable strategies. Sessions may include skill practice, values work, and planning for real-life situations.

Diana encourages small steps and celebrates progress along the way.

Approach and online care that fits family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take small, value-driven steps. It can be useful when stress, depression, or repeated worries get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around everyday parenting challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that began early in life and how they show up now, which can clarify how to change communication and closeness over time.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools help most, and that choice can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings. These options can help fit therapy into a hectic schedule and make regular work on coping skills and parenting strategies more accessible.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
