About Diana
Diana Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Diana also works with those facing relationship strain, workplace problems, and life changes.
Her method is conversational and goal-focused. She listens first, then uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize each person's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships.
Diana uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward change. For someone dealing with panic or social anxiety and phobia, she offers concrete strategies to recognize triggers and practice manageable skills. Sessions emphasize short, practical steps alongside reflection.
Her background includes long experience in community and clinical settings in New York. That work exposed her to cases involving domestic violence, divorce and separation, and post-traumatic stress. Those experiences shape how she plans treatment and supports people as they adjust to difficult events.
In early meetings she focuses on clear goals and a few simple tools the person can try between sessions. Over time she adjusts the approach based on what helps most. People can expect straightforward talk, guided exercises, and problem-solving that fits their daily life.
How Diana’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person's own priorities and perspective. In practice this looks like the therapist asking open questions, reflecting what she hears, and checking in about what the client wants to focus on that week.Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Diana uses CBT to identify patterns that increase anxiety or panic and to introduce small experiments and coping skills the person can try between meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how feelings affect relationships and interaction patterns. When relationship strain or family problems are present, this approach helps name emotions and practice different responses in real situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Diana reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills practice, mindful noticing, or emotion-focused exercises.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or make it simpler to practice skills between meetings. Ask about session length and technical requirements when you schedule your first appointment.
