About Diana

Diana Sebzda is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on helping people navigate grief, life changes, and a wide range of emotional challenges.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she brings an integrative style that blends practical tools and reflective work to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and issues such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and end-of-life matters. Her work also covers career and life coaching, coping with illness, and disenfranchised losses including pet loss and other bereavements.

She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness, client-centered, existential, and narrative approaches, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances. Diana often combines skill-building with opportunities to explore meaning, values, and personal strengths so clients can rebuild confidence and reconnect with purpose.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, and structures engagements to fit different needs including ongoing therapy and short-term coaching support.

Integrative approaches for online healing and growth

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by developing skills for coping and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance to help a person explore feelings and build self-understanding and self-worth.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and challenges, then adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual. Clients can expect to try techniques in session and apply them between sessions while checking in about what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect from another location. These options support continuity of care for those managing grief, caregiving responsibilities, workplace stress, or other life transitions while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and format to the client’s needs.
