About Diana

Diana Barfoot is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado who brings six years of experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She has worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, substance and process addictions, grief, trauma, and concerns about self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach

Diana takes a pragmatic, strengths-focused approach that emphasizes practical tools alongside personal growth. Her therapeutic stance centers on creating a respectful, client-led environment where people can explore values, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s priorities. Diana also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support self-awareness, motivation, and lasting behavioral shifts.

Clients who seek help for codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, or self-love can expect an individualized plan that balances insight with actionable steps. Diana frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower people to navigate transitions, manage stress, and pursue a life that feels more aligned with their goals.

Approaches and online care that meet you where you are



Diana often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective behaviors; this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals to create a supportive environment for self-exploration and growth. Mindfulness practices are woven in to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for managing cravings, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative work she does with each person. Diana will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and tailor interventions based on your goals, preferences, and life circumstances so the approach feels like a fit rather than a prescription.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options allow ongoing access to a licensed professional and make it possible to use techniques learned in sessions in real time across everyday settings.
