About Diane

Diane J Gores is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and body image concerns. She welcomes people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and offers straightforward support to explore next steps. Diane uses clear, practical guidance so clients can make steady progress toward goals.

She holds a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and has 12 years of combined experience in mental health. Diane practices as an LPC in Georgia. Her background includes work with people coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and workplace or career stress.

Diane favors focused, action-oriented work. She uses solution-focused methods to identify small, useful changes that can make daily life easier. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Sessions are framed around what each person needs right now, with practical steps to try between meetings. Diane is candid that change takes effort and that therapy is not a quick fix, but she aims to help people move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. Diane encourages clients to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress. She also supports people working through relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to self-worth and shame.

How Dianes approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought that affect mood and behavior and testing small changes to break unhelpful cycles. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals to create noticeable improvements in daily life.

Diane treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggests strategies to try. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as needed, aiming for methods that fit the client's routine and priorities.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in remote sessions to help clients practice skills, try homework, and track progress without changing the core therapeutic work.
