About Diane
Diane J Gores is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns.

She earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling and has 12 years of experience in mental health settings. Diane uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused strategies to help people make changes that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented rather than long lectures. In the room she listens first and asks clear questions to identify what matters most. Then she helps build small, doable steps toward the client’s goals.
Diane explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t working. She also attends to patterns that affect everyday functioning - things like low self-worth, communication problems, body image, guilt, or workplace stress. Diane can tailor short-term plans for coping and longer arcs for deeper change depending on what a person needs.
Online work with Diane focuses on practical progress. She encourages realistic expectations and reminds people that change takes effort and time. If someone is ready to take a step, she helps translate intentions into action and tracks improvements along the way.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s goals and experience at the center of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in finding their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Diane uses simple exercises to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more constructive habits, which can reduce anxiety and mood problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what’s already working and builds small, practical steps toward the client’s preferred future. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete progress on issues such as coping with life changes or career challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break during the day, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and stay connected with a licensed professional while working toward change.
