About Diana

Diana Sebzda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, and life changes, and she brings 18 years of clinical experience to the work. Diana uses down-to-earth language and practical tools so people can manage day-to-day challenges.

She offers sessions in English and also accepts international clients. Diana views grief as often connected to other life issues. She addresses end-of-life topics, bereavement, and less-recognized forms of loss like pet loss and disenfranchised grief.

Background and approach

Her practice also covers compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, workplace struggles, and career coaching when those issues tie into a person’s emotional needs. Her style blends several familiar approaches so care is tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent choice for tackling unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors.

Mindfulness techniques are used to ground people who feel overwhelmed by emotion or stress. Diana also draws on narrative and client-centered ideas to help people tell their story and clarify what matters next. She uses short-term, goal-focused techniques alongside deeper conversations about meaning and life purpose.

Sessions emphasize practical steps, coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence. People who choose Diana can expect clear steps and options rather than jargon. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches that meet grief and life changes

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping build confidence and clarity around next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to keep continuity after major life events or during caregiving responsibilities. They also let people access licensed professionals without travel, so therapy can fit into busy days and shifting routines.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
