Diane J Gores

Diane J Gores is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, career questions, and parenting concerns. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, anger, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Diane also supports people navigating workplace problems, LGBT concerns, and the strain of caring for others. Diane earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and holds an LPC in Georgia. She brings 12 years of experience in mental health settings. That background gives her practical exposure to common challenges people bring to therapy. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also applies solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Diane centers sessions on the person in front of her and emphasizes steps that fit into everyday life. Diane describes therapy as collaborative work. She will help identify small, realistic changes and ask clients to practice between sessions. She is straightforward about the effort needed - progress takes work over time, not a quick fix. People who come to Diane can expect direct, goal-oriented conversations and practical strategies for coping. Her style is supportive while focusing on concrete next steps to help move forward.

How Diane’s approaches fit into online therapy

Diane uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy as touchstones for her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so a person can voice concerns and find their own direction. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior to test and change unhelpful habits that feed anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical goals and what can be done next to move toward those goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She aims to tailor strategies so they match a client’s day-to-day life and priorities, checking in and adjusting along the way. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working without changing routines dramatically. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt CBT and solution-focused tasks for remote work, using exercises and between-session practices that fit into everyday life.
