About Diana
Diana Lively is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and questions about life purpose.
She combines practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with addiction recovery methods. Diana has worked in community mental health and with the court system, and she leads outpatient recovery and prevention groups. Her background includes alcohol and drug counseling and experience with co-occurring disorders.
Diana uses psychoeducation and skills training to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors. In addiction work she applies the Matrix model and relapse prevention techniques alongside mindfulness and wellness practices. She also offers drug and alcohol assessments and contributes to group-based recovery programming.
When family concerns are involved she focuses on communication, roles, and problem solving. Her family-focused work aims to clarify patterns of dysfunction, teach interaction skills, and build clearer boundaries and shared decision making. She describes these sessions as practical and solution-oriented.
Clients can expect a mix of skills practice, education, and discussion about how past patterns affect current choices. Diana draws from several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. To begin, she uses a short screening and discussion to shape goals and plan next steps.
How Diana uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. DBT skills can be used to manage strong emotions and improve coping under stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diana will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific online options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, join recovery-focused groups without travel, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Diana’s online work draws on CBT, ACT, and DBT tools adapted for discussion, skill practice, and relapse prevention so that sessions focus on usable steps people can apply between meetings.
