About Diana
Diana Najera is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, depression, and adjusting to major life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on six years of clinical experience to support people navigating loss, caregiver strain, postpartum depression, and issues around attachment, communication, and self-worth. Her approach emphasizes clients' existing strengths and personal narratives as tools for healing and growth.
Working from evidence-informed modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative and solution-focused techniques, she helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical coping strategies. Diana emphasizes collaboration, viewing each person as the expert on their own life while offering skills and perspectives to reduce distress and build resilience.
She also brings experience addressing aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress. Fluent in English and Spanish, Diana offers remote sessions across Texas and tailors work to each client's goals and circumstances.
She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin, and supports clients through a process of discovery, skill-building, and renewed self-compassion.
Approach and Access: Evidence-Informed Work Online
Online sessions with Diana draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address current struggles and build practical skills. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching tools to change those responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values and committed action while teaching mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful engagement.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, combining techniques as needed and adjusting the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for individual needs.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexible options for participation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with communication, and maintain continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Diana uses these online formats to make evidence-informed, goal-oriented work more accessible for clients across Texas.
