About Diane
Diane Cooper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 23 years of professional experience. She focuses on problems that often lead to frustration and anger, including relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Diane uses a straightforward, conversational approach. She listens first, and then works with people to clarify what they want to change. Sessions aim to identify patterns that fuel anger and practical steps to reduce flare-ups in everyday situations.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Solution-focused tools are used to set concrete, short-term goals and build small wins.
Diane describes the therapy space as one where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She encourages people to try things between sessions and then review what did and didn't help. That steady testing approach helps people gain more control over how they respond when emotions run high.
She has worked across many concerns linked to anger and stress, such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career pressures. Diane also supports people facing first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, and challenges around gender dysphoria and non-monogamous relationships.
How Diane uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and letting the client set the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, steady place to sort emotions and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot thought patterns that escalate anger and practice different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and repeated anger reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps. Sessions identify practical changes that can be tried between meetings and then reviewed. This method is aimed at quick, measurable progress rather than long explorations of the past.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.
