Myron Dianiska, LPC, LPA

Myron Dianiska is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed psychological associate (LPA) based in Texas. He brings 50 years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. He works with adults on work and life transitions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain.

Myron uses practical methods to help people manage panic, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and mood shifts. He combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness tools to reduce distress and build useful habits. Sessions focus on clear skills and small, achievable changes.

He pays special attention to challenges men and young adults often mention, like finding purpose, navigating fatherhood, and coping with workplace pressure. He also supports people working through grief, trauma, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use. Smoking and vaping cessation are also within his focus areas.

Myron favors a collaborative, client-centered style. He listens first, then sets practical goals together. Homework and real-world practice are common, so progress can be tracked between meetings.

He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions, and provides care across a wide range of mood and anxiety disorders. His long experience helps him adapt methods to each person’s needs. The tone in sessions is direct, calm, and respectful.

How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online

Myron integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to address patterns that keep people stuck. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to lower anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while moving toward valued actions, which helps with issues like grief, trauma, and chronic worry.

He approaches therapy collaboratively and expects the client to help shape the plan. Figuring out which methods fit comes from discussing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting as needed. That shared process aims to match tools to what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help and a longer session is planned. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between meetings, making it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
