Approaches and Online Care from an Experienced LCSW

Diana Norton uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients discover their own strengths and solutions, which can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when needed to teach emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance for people navigating intense emotions, relationship conflict, or trauma-related challenges. Diana approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with Diana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or varying comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to access consistent support while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
