About Diana
Diana Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 20 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. Diana creates a calm, accepting space where clients can talk openly about what’s hard for them.
She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions often look at how worry and panic show up, how family patterns affect daily functioning, and how past hurts continue to influence current choices. Diana helps people figure out small changes that lower stress and improve relationships.
Her approach centers on listening closely to each person’s needs. She uses client-centered conversation to build understanding, cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness to strengthen present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused techniques are woven in when useful for goals like reconnecting with others or making a life change.
Diana has particular experience addressing divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, post-traumatic stress, workplace strain, and social anxiety. She also supports people working on forgiveness, self-love, and finding purpose after major life shifts.
She speaks English and practices in New York. If someone is ready to start, Diana guides them through the first steps and helps set realistic goals for each session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Diana often draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's experience and goals, helping conversations stay focused on what matters most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce panic, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses that affect close relationships and family dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Diana listens to each person’s concerns and preferences and suggests techniques that match their goals. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as formats were not detailed in the profile. Online therapy can still make regular work on goals easier to fit into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness or CBT homework between sessions and to involve focused emotionally-centered exercises that help with family patterns.
