She has truly helped me, i feel like she knows what she's doing. Even in the worst days of social isolation the sessions are never something i dread. She's very patient, never makes me feel guilty or wrong or anything, she fits the therapy to your needs, and she's humble, when she suggests something i don't agree with or i'm uncomfortable with, she always listens and considers my point of view worthy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Thank you so much for helping me with every week Video chat about my journey. I’m able to going along my life much easier after all your effort and assignments. I really appreciate your dedication with a such strong work ethic along our meetings. I recommend to all in need!
My sessions with Diana came at a fairly critical point for me, and I can happily say they’ve been beneficial. Diana is exceptionally professional, and her method of work is valuable. Through different tools adapted to me, Diana helped me see things from a different perspective, and now I feel confident using them on my own. She is a very understanding and empathetic person who made me feel completely at ease discussing anything on my mind and expressing difficult emotions. I would recommend Diana to anyone who needs help, she is an excellent therapist, and I am very glad to have met her.
Diana has been an excellent therapist to me thus far. She has been incredibly kind, understanding and empathetic. Diana has always made me feel like she understands what I'm trying to communicate.
