Talking to Diana is like meeting an old friend for coffee and catching up. She listens, has a good sense of humor, and seems to genuinely care about me. It doesn't feel like she's doing a job - it feels like she's invested in the people she serves and she truly enjoys helping people.

I am licensed in Ohio with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Diana has been a big help to me in my journey through grief, my marriage and stress management.
From the start I felt like I had known her for a long time, she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable talking to her. I’m saddened that I can no longer see her, but she has gotten me in the right mindset! Thank you!
Diana has been great to work with so far!
I've been through A LOT of therapists and she has been the best so far!
