About Diana
Diana Norton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and codependency. Diana aims to create a steady, compassionate presence that helps people talk through hard moments and make practical changes.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns from sleep and eating issues to addictions, ADHD, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body-image struggles, and identity questions within LGBT and neurodiverse communities. Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
Diana blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused methods when they fit a person’s goals. The focus is on what helps someone function better day to day, not on jargon or labels.
Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative approach. Diana listens first, then helps set clear short-term goals. She uses practical coping skills, communication practice, and problem-solving to address recurring patterns like abandonment fears or control issues.
Based in Indiana, Diana brings decades of front-line experience to each conversation. She aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable, helping people move from surviving toward clearer choices and steadier relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and helps shape sessions around what matters most to them. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on a person’s strengths to solve everyday problems and improve relationships.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns over time.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be useful when emotions feel intense or when someone wants clear tools to manage overwhelming reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods together. The first few sessions are often used to identify what helps most and to set short-term, practical goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques for remote sessions so people can continue building skills from where they are.
