About Diana
Diana Norton is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, and many life transitions. Diana provides direct, person-focused care in plain language that helps people make practical changes.
Her approach blends Client-Centered work with cognitive and skills-based methods. That means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters to the person and then using techniques to shift thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotion-focused and solution-oriented strategies when relationships or intense feelings are central concerns. Diana has helped people cope with trauma, chronic pain and illness, parenting strain, career stress, and issues connected to identity such as LGBT concerns. She brings decades of experience to areas like attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.
Her practice includes support for anger, self-esteem, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD-related struggles. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical tools, and steady emotional support. Diana aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and regain a sense of control over daily life.
She works in Indiana and speaks English. People who choose Diana complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Inquiries are handled through the site's Start Therapy flow and follow the listed scheduling process.
How Diana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set the pace. It is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and figure out personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It provides concrete steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving stress tolerance. It is helpful for people who need tools for intense feelings, anger, or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on feelings, skills, or short-term problem solving.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, caregiving, and daily life.
