About Diana
Diana Norton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and a wide range of life changes.
Diana uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversation and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and steps people can try between meetings.
She also addresses issues such as sleep trouble, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, eating struggles, and career stress. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image worries. Diana supports people working through the emotional effects of cancer, aging, and blended family dynamics.
In a session people can expect a practical focus on what is happening now, the thoughts that keep problems going, and specific skills to change those patterns. Diana emphasizes clear communication, problem solving, and building day-to-day routines that reduce distress. She helps clients weigh options and try new ways of responding to recurring problems.
Her style is steady and structured, aimed at helping people see what works and what does not. Prospective clients in Indiana who speak English are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How Diana Uses Structured Therapies in Remote Sessions
Many of Diana's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to relieve distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and repetitive patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities and experiences. That approach emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own goals. When emotions feel intense or self-regulation is difficult, she may bring in skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping strategies and emotion regulation techniques.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Diana will discuss what seems most likely to help based on the client's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. She adjusts plans as progress becomes clearer and tries different techniques when needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. Licensed professionals may also use a mix of conversational work and skill practice so clients can try new strategies between sessions.
