Online Therapy Grounded in CBT and Narrative Work

Dianna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and adjusting daily routines to improve functioning.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy, which invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to reframe those narratives in ways that support agency and meaning. This approach can be helpful for people working through identity questions, life transitions, or long-held patterns that feel limiting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dianna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust strategies so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or on the go, making it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, school, or family commitments.
