About Diana
Diana Norton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience based in Indiana. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Diana lists family and parenting among her focus areas and works with adults on matters that affect life at home.
Her practice uses practical, talk-based methods to address everyday problems. She draws on client-centered work to listen and prioritize what matters to the person in the room. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation and relationship patterns are central.
Diana has spent decades helping adults cope with loss, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and career frustration. She brings steady experience to issues such as attachment, abandonment, blended family concerns, and communication problems. Her background includes work with people facing body image, eating, and intimacy-related issues.
Sessions focus on practical steps and skills as well as on understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. She can help with managing anger, improving sleep, and addressing attention and concentration struggles linked to ADHD. Diana also supports people exploring sexual orientation and LGBT-related concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and skill-oriented. She helps people set clear goals, try small changes, and notice what works. The intent is to reduce stress at home and build manageable ways to cope over time.
How sessions work
How Diana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows what matters to the person and helps them set priorities for change. This is useful when someone needs a space to sort out family concerns or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Diana uses CBT-based exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with anger, intense emotions, and self-management tasks.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Diana will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
