Getting to know Diana Lopez

Hi there, I'm Diana! I'm so glad you're here. Whether it be your first therapy session or you've experienced therapy services in the past, I look forward to joining your journey and making sure that it is meaningful and tailored to your needs. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions, creating a safe and supportive virtual space where you can find emotional safety, heal, grow, and thrive—wherever you are. I take pride in being a person-centered clinician by meeting you warmly and compassionately where you're at in your therapeutic journey. My approach I am here to walk alongside your journey of self-awareness, offer coping skills through your healing process, and support you in deepening your understanding of yourself. My theoretical framework and therapeutic approach primarily stem from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns in addition to improving your emotional self-awareness and self-monitoring skills. This approach is hands-on and gives you tangible tools to help you feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. In addition, I use psychosocial, solution-focused, problem-solving therapies in combination with motivational interviewing and mindfulness. Finally, I integrate a strong consideration of my client's lived experiences, cultural backgrounds, and recognize that everyone has an individual worldview that has been shaped by unique factors. My clinical approach can be described as warm, friendly, empathetic, motivational, and person-centered with unconditional positive regard. Additionally, I love to integrate humor and pop culture whenever possible as a means of reaching better therapeutic alignment. Together, we will create a plan to help you feel better sooner.
