Diane J Gores, LPC

Diane J Gores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy issues, parenting strain, workplace problems, and questions around identity, including LGBT concerns. Diane also supports those struggling with self-esteem, body image, guilt, and emptiness. Diane holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and brings 12 years of combined experience in mental health to her work. She favors straightforward, practical conversations that look at what’s happening now and what can be changed next. Her aim is to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer, manageable steps. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to examine unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on solution-focused methods to identify small, realistic goals and quick steps forward. Client-centered principles guide her interactions so people feel heard and respected as they make changes. Diane describes therapy as a cooperative effort that requires work between sessions. She encourages people to try new strategies, notice what helps, and build on those wins. She frames progress as steady steps rather than instant fixes. People considering online work are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Diane accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Diane’s approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and guides change at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It is helpful when someone wants to identify quick, achievable changes and build momentum. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which combination of approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress happens. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that fit a work break or caregiving routine. The therapist's profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals often tailor session length and pacing to what works best for each person.
