About Diana
Diana Hope is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, and many life transitions.
Diana has worked with a wide age range, from toddlers through senior citizens, and with people from many cultural backgrounds. She listens for the reasons someone is seeking help and the barriers they notice. Early sessions focus on making sure she understands the client's concerns and priorities.
Her approach is straightforward. She talks with clients about what might help and offers methods drawn from several evidence-based approaches. She checks in often about pace and asks clients to correct or clarify her understanding when needed. Humor is sometimes part of sessions when it fits.
Diana describes herself as respectful, kind, and honest in how she works. She encourages clients to say what pace feels comfortable. Together she and the client identify small, practical steps toward the goals they set.
Over time she supports people as they try different ways of coping and solving problems. Sessions typically include collaborative planning, focused conversations about feelings and patterns, and skill-building for handling stress and strong emotions. The overall aim is steady, manageable progress toward clearer goals and improved functioning.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
How Diana blends therapy approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and naming emotions and on changing repeated patterns in relationships and personal interactions. It can help people who feel stuck in strong emotional reactions or recurring interaction cycles.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works from the client's goals to guide sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and strategies to address anxiety, mood, and coping with stressful situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each client about what methods might fit best and adjust plans based on the client's needs and preferences. That process is collaborative and paced to what the person prefers.
