About Diana

Diana Norton is an LCSW with 35 years of clinical experience. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral tools to help people untangle painful emotions and improve how they relate to others. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel understood and take practical steps forward.

She works with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep trouble, addictions, and trauma and abuse. Relationship and intimacy-related issues are a common focus, along with parenting strain, self-esteem, and communication problems.

Background and approach

She also supports clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and life transitions. In sessions she listens closely to what matters to each person and then prioritizes small, manageable changes. That might mean identifying patterns that keep someone stuck, practicing new ways to talk with a partner, or building daily skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Sessions mix emotional work with practical strategies tailored to the client. Her background spans long-term therapy and shorter, solution-focused work depending on a person’s goals. Diana blends elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need better emotion regulation and uses solution-focused methods when clients want concrete goals and quick shifts.

She draws on decades of experience to match methods to each situation. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances feeling understood with actionable steps. Diana aims to help people build skills, repair relationships where possible, and move through loss or change with more confidence.

Online support

How emotion-focused and practical therapies translate online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to help people name and work through strong emotions that shape how they relate to others. Online sessions can be a place to notice patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and process loss or hurt in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own path. In remote sessions this often looks like gentle, guided conversations that encourage self-discovery and personal insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete skills to change behavior. It works well online when people want structured tools for anxiety, sleep issues, or mood regulation and can practice exercises between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what they hope to change. That may mean combining emotion-focused exploration with CBT skills or using solution-focused steps for faster shifts.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and work interactively. Phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or a way to process feelings in shorter bursts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
