Diana Najera, LCSW

Diana Najera is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of professional experience to her work. Diana emphasizes straightforward support and practical steps so people can feel more steady day to day.

Diana believes clients know their own stories and strengths. She focuses on building on those strengths to address the problems that matter most. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-minded, with clear ideas for what to try between meetings.

Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with attachment-focused and narrative ideas when they fit the situation. That means Diana blends work on thoughts and behaviors with values-based choices and attention to important relationships.

She often helps people handle life transitions, caregiver stress, and issues around aging, end-of-life care, or postpartum depression. Communication problems, guilt, shame, and forgiveness are also areas she addresses through practical exercises and gentle reflection.

People meet with her for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works. Diana aims to make therapy manageable and relevant to each person’s daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many of Diana's methods focus on changing unhelpful patterns and living by what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in accepting difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how important relationships shape reactions and can guide work on communication and closeness.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Diana will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and tailor the methods used in sessions. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, ACT strategies, attachment work, or a mix of techniques.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations when an in-person visit isn’t possible. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexible scheduling easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep consistent care and to try different formats as needs change.
