About Diana
Diana Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who centers her practice on collaborative, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With two decades of clinical work, she supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family difficulties.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to emotions so clients gain tools for immediate coping as well as deeper understanding of recurring patterns. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings are invited into the conversation and explored alongside concrete strategies.
Diana also addresses related concerns including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, workplace problems, social anxiety, grief from divorce or separation, and issues connected to forgiveness and life purpose. She uses client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, emotionally-focused perspectives, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Across short-term goals and longer-term work, she emphasizes collaboration and practical change while honoring personal values and strengths. Diana’s combination of CBT-informed interventions and empathetic listening aims to help people reduce distress, manage change, and find clearer direction in their relationships and daily life.
Integrating practical approaches for online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it offers concrete techniques for reducing anxiety, managing panic, and addressing depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace of work and helps clarify values and goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and attachment patterns to strengthen relational understanding and promote healing from losses or trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains practical and aligned with what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person meetings are difficult, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on progress through regular contact and tailored interventions.
