About Diana
Diana Norton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. She draws on a practical, person-focused style to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She pays attention to what each person brings to the room.
Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step changes. Diana listens for patterns that keep problems going and suggests small, do-able shifts people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of life issues. These include sleep problems, addictions, sexual and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses challenges related to attachment, abandonment, blended families, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and body image.
Diana uses common therapeutic approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. She matches tools to the person’s goals, combining short-term strategies and longer-term emotional work as needed. Clients can expect direct, understandable feedback and practical techniques to try at home.
Diana works from Indiana and offers sessions in English. Her practice supports people navigating life changes, relationship struggles, and ongoing emotional pain.
Using evidence-informed approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is built around the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist offers empathic listening and helps people name what matters most, which can be especially useful for anxiety, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, called DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean short-term skill building with CBT, emotion-focused exploration with EFT, or a mix of methods tailored over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use longer session time for deeper work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
