Diana Johnson, LMHC

Diana Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of experience to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. Diana aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and understandable. She uses straightforward talk therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include learning practical skills for panic, anxiety, and mood changes. Diana also draws on client-centered methods to make sure each person feels heard and respected. When relationships and family tensions are part of the concern, she helps people sort through communication patterns and emotional reactions. She can assist with issues tied to divorce, separation, domestic violence, and family problems. Work-related stress and questions about life purpose are also common topics in her practice. Mindfulness practices are used to build grounding skills and reduce reactivity to stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide moments when deeper feelings need naming and processing. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons and momentum for change. Diana works in New York as an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are practical, calm, and focused on goals you and she set together. She supports each step toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better daily functioning.

Practical approaches for online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It helps with panic, anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach supports people who need space to explore feelings, decide priorities, and build self-trust.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice, name, and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and personal choices. It is useful when emotional patterns keep repeating or when healing from trauma feels overwhelming.

Diana treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as needed. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face while staying in a convenient location. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
