Getting to know Diana Canary

My name is Diana Canary and I am a Supervisee in Social Work/Associate Therapist. I graduated in May 2025 with my MSW degree and am working on getting my clinical hours towards my LCSW licensure under clinical supervision. I work with adolescents (12+), young adults, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, Bipolar/mood/personality disorders, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and identity development. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want to better understand their emotions, patterns, and needs. I also enjoy helping clients navigate family dynamics, communication challenges, boundary-setting, and relationship stressors.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, without feeling like you have to have everything figured out. Life can be overwhelming at times, and I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves, reconnect with their strengths, and navigate challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I strive to meet each client where they are while supporting them in creating meaningful and lasting change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and goals, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based interventions, and trauma-informed approaches. I am trained in evidence-based childhood trauma practices and incorporate inner-child work when appropriate to help clients explore how past experiences may continue to impact them today. My goal is not only to help clients develop practical coping skills, but also to foster greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence so they can build a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to them.
