About Diana
Diana Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she combines several practical methods to help clients manage symptoms and make clearer choices.
Diana keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. She listens for emotional patterns that keep showing up and helps clients name what they are feeling. She also uses skills-based approaches to reduce panic symptoms, ease social anxiety, and lower everyday stress.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and how they shape reactions. She pairs that with Client-Centered methods that foreground the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when needed.
Diana also incorporates mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help clients stay present and find momentum for change. She works with people on issues such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, life purpose, workplace stress, and post-traumatic stress.
People who choose Diana can expect practical talk, emotion-focused reflection, and step-by-step skills practice. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Diana applies Emotionally-Focused and practical therapies online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name core emotions and how those feelings shape their reactions. It is useful when strong emotions feel confusing or keep repeating in relationships and daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, with the therapist following and reflecting what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be helpful for panic, social anxiety, and depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean more emotion-focused exploration at times, and skills practice at others. The plan is adjusted together as progress is made.
