About Diane
Diane J Gores is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and other life challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on more than 12 years of combined experience in mental health and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University to support clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps. Diane also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, parenting, workplace stress, body image, social anxiety, and trauma and abuse.
Her style blends practical, goal-oriented strategies with an empathetic, client-centered stance. Diane commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set concrete steps toward change.
She emphasizes collaboration and realistic effort, noting that progress requires active participation and practice between sessions. Diane offers online formats and welcomes international clients, aiming to empower people to move from where they are now toward where they want to be.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals and values. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative space to make sense of feelings and consider new directions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and modify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or distress. It typically involves concrete exercises and skills practice that can be used between sessions to produce measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Diane will collaborate with each person to determine whether CBT, client-centered strategies, or a solution-focused emphasis best matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible for people with busy lives or caregiving and work responsibilities. These formats support continuity of care and flexible check-ins while allowing therapists and clients to use evidence-based techniques in a way that fits daily routines.
