About Diane
Diane J Gores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. Diane also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, addictions, parenting stress, and workplace problems.
She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. Diane describes her primary approaches as brief solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions look at patterns in thinking and behavior and then test small changes to see what helps. That means concrete steps to try between meetings rather than open-ended talk alone.
Diane draws on a background that includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and over a decade working in clinical settings. Her experience includes helping people who feel stuck and those facing trauma, compassion fatigue, or identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
In sessions she discusses next steps and practical tools. She’s direct about the need for active work outside sessions, and she describes therapy as a process rather than a quick fix. People can expect short-term strategies alongside skills for longer-term change.
Diane offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her practice pays attention to matters like self-esteem, body image, communication problems, and workplace stress. To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and priorities.
How Diane’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so you feel understood and clear about next steps. It helps when someone needs a steady, supportive listener who follows their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical alternatives; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood because it gives specific skills to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable changes and builds on what already works for you.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Diane will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, measurable objectives and adjust tactics as progress and obstacles appear.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also permits using written exercises or homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. The practical aim is to use therapy in ways that match daily life rather than require major schedule changes.
