About Diana

Diana Norton brings a client-centered approach informed by cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

With 35 years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential (IN LCSW 34002731A), she draws on a range of therapeutic tools to address emotional pain, addictive patterns, sleep difficulties, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her work also reaches into specialized areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting and family dynamics, eating and body image concerns, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress. Diana tailors strategies to each person’s situation, blending solution-focused steps, emotion-focused techniques, and skills-based approaches to improve coping and communication.

Located in Indiana, she provides care in English and accepts clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Diana describes therapy as a collaborative process that emphasizes practical skills, emotional insight, and gradual change, helping clients navigate life transitions and build sustainable habits for wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances; it often involves practical exercises and skills practice that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to help clients explore feelings and build self-understanding, which can be delivered through video or phone when people need a supportive space. Dialectical Behavior Therapy blends acceptance and change strategies and teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to assess goals, preferences, and needs, then recommend techniques from these models and adapt them over time if another path seems more effective. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules or reach clients who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions, check in more frequently when needed, and maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient settings.
