About Diana

Diana Lively is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and a broad range of related issues.

Background and approach

With 16 years in the mental health field, she brings experience working with co-occurring disorders and recovery-focused services, and she emphasizes relapse prevention, psychoeducation, and family understanding as part of healing.

Her clinical style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and wellness-oriented strategies, informed by additional methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered approaches, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Diana integrates group and individual interventions, offers educational outpatient groups for co-occurring therapy, and uses practical tools like the Matrix model in recovery to help clients identify patterns and build new coping skills. She also brings experience collaborating with courts and community mental health settings, and she facilitates recovery and prevention groups to support sustained change.

Clients can expect an eclectic, person-focused approach that balances skill-building, insight, and family involvement when helpful, with attention to practical relapse-prevention planning and wellness-based strategies to support long-term recovery.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and many daily coping challenges by offering structured exercises and homework to practice new responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action. This approach can help people tolerate difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful life changes and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana works with each person to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting interventions over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage in these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to access sessions from home or other convenient locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue skill practice between meetings using written or live-session prompts. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed techniques in these online formats to support steady progress and relapse prevention.
