About Diana

Diana Otieno is an Australian credentialed social worker with five years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. She approaches each person as the expert of their own life, helping them identify and draw on strengths to navigate difficult moments and build practical coping strategies.

Holding the AASW credential - accreditation with the Australian Association of Social Workers - Diana combines evidence-informed techniques with a warm, nonjudgmental stance. She focuses on creating a collaborative space where clients feel heard and guided rather than directed, and she tailors her support to the challenges each person brings.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Diana acknowledges that decision while offering steady, skilled care throughout the process. Prospective clients can expect respectful partnership, attention to personal values and goals, and practical steps for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, meaningful actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing struggles where shifting perspective and commitment to valued action matter. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships influence emotions, trust and coping patterns; it supports people working through abandonment, attachment issues or relationship-related trauma by strengthening secure connection and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and is commonly used to address symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mood concerns.



Diana works collaboratively with clients to find the best therapeutic approach for their needs, goals and preferences. She views the choice of method as a shared process - licensed professionals and therapists often integrate techniques to fit the person rather than relying on a single model.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care when life is busy or mobility is limited, and they support ongoing communication between sessions when helpful. Diana uses these remote formats to provide accessible, consistent therapeutic support for clients across Australia.
