About Myron

Myron Dianiska is a licensed counselor practicing in Texas with five decades of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and issues with self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and career or life-purpose questions.

His style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and the small steps that lead to change. He uses evidence-based methods to teach skills for coping, managing mood, and reducing unhelpful habits.

Background and approach

Myron blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help people notice patterns and choose different responses. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a client-centered stance to connect empathically and respect each person’s values. Therapy includes exercises, thought work, and real-world practice between sessions.

He has worked with a broad range of concerns across mood disorders, addictions, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions. Additional focuses include fatherhood issues, men’s concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviors. Clients can expect clear explanations, practical tools, and collaborative planning.

Myron’s long experience informs a calm, patient presence while helping clients find workable strategies for daily life. He conducts sessions in English and practices from Texas as a LPC and LPA.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action toward them even when the mind is difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and finding life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments; it works well for panic, depression, and phobias. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, mood, and coping with cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they will try methods that fit the client and adjust as progress and feedback guide the plan.

Online sessions make consistent care more convenient. Video calls let the therapist observe and teach skills in real time. Phone sessions can be used when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, coaching, and support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or other responsibilities while working on change.

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.

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.
