She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.

Diana uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques to tailor sessions to each person. She often works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions. Sessions combine talk, skill practice, and short-term action planning.

Her background includes eight years as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida. Diana has experience addressing trauma and abuse, domestic violence, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and eating and food-related problems.

People also bring concerns about intimacy, commitment, family conflict, and identity-related stress. Diana helps with anger, self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and coping after separation or divorce. She works with those navigating blended family dynamics and forgiveness work.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Diana accepts international clients and practices from Florida as an LCSW.

Approach and options for online therapy

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like negative self-talk or mood instability. ACT focuses on values and committed action rather than trying to eliminate feelings; it helps people accept difficult emotions while moving toward what matters to them.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of work. This approach supports people who need time to clarify identity, process trauma, or rebuild self-esteem. Diana blends these methods so each plan fits the person's goals and circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. A licensed professional will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust as progress is made. This means goals, coping skills, and session style get reviewed and updated together over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when flexibility is needed during a busy day.
