About Diane
Diane J Gores is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity and military service.
Diane uses clear, task-focused approaches to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also applies client-centered methods to listen and make space for a person's priorities, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps.
Her training includes a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. As an LPC in Georgia she has worked in a range of mental health settings over more than a decade. That background informs practical strategies for dealing with work stress, body image and workplace issues as well as parenting and career decisions.
In sessions she asks concrete questions and practices skills together. Clients can expect short-term goals, homework you can try between meetings, and regular review of progress. Diane notes that online work requires commitment and effort; it is not a quick fix but is meant to produce real change through steady practice.
For people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of next steps, she offers straightforward coaching and counseling to map practical options and next actions.
How Diane applies structured approaches in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, workplace stress and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and practical goals to move forward quickly.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Diane will discuss goals and preferences with each person and choose approaches together. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions emphasize skill practice, problem solving, or focused goal work.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills in their normal environment and bring real situations into the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt material used in face-to-face work for online use, and Diane frames sessions so they align with daily routines and responsibilities.
