About Diana
Diana Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor, a New York LMHC, with 20 years of clinical experience helping people through major life changes and emotional strain. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and family-related concerns. Diana also supports people facing relationship shifts and questions of life purpose.
In sessions she uses clear, person-focused methods to help people make sense of what feels stuck. Conversations often include practical steps drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses emotionally-focused approaches when relationship patterns and attachment issues are central concerns.
Diana listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name specific goals. She draws on motivational interviewing to clarify readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set small, achievable steps. This combination aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
People consult her about divorce and separation, domestic violence histories, family problems, and forgiveness work. She also supports those coping with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, workplace stress, and questions about personal meaning and life purpose.
Her style favors straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions typically move between exploring feelings and practicing concrete strategies for everyday life. Diana practices in New York and conducts work in English.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their perspectives. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client clarify their own priorities and decisions. This approach is useful when someone is unsure what matters next or needs space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, workplace stress and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationship patterns. It helps identify recurring interaction cycles and practice new responses that change those patterns. This can be helpful when relationship strain or attachment issues are central concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting them over time based on what helps most.
