Diane is amazing. I could write many more words but that's the summary of all of it. She has helped me greatly and helped me realized the value of therapy. She listens well, understands where I am coming from and provide a feedback that is really crucial for my progress through life situations. I wish her good luck.

More about Diane
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW, LCSW, LCSW-C
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, caregiver stress, and chronic health concerns. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from Fordham University and utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused interventions.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can identify what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should be individualized, and I tailor treatment to your unique goals, needs, and life circumstances.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
