About Diana

Diana Lively is an LPC based in Oklahoma who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and self-esteem struggles, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 16 years of experience in the mental health field, she draws on a history of work in community mental health, recovery and relapse prevention, and court-related rehabilitation programs to help clients move toward clearer insight and practical change. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic wellness perspective.

Diana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based and client-centered approaches to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She also brings experience facilitating recovery and prevention groups, delivering psychoeducation about co-occurring diagnoses, and offering family-focused work that emphasizes communication, role clarity, and healthier interaction patterns.

Clients can expect work that emphasizes relapse prevention, mindfulness, and skills-building alongside exploration of values and life purpose. Diana frames therapy as collaborative and pragmatic, helping people develop tools for coping with life changes, addiction recovery, mood and anxiety symptoms, and other concerns that interfere with daily functioning.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify their personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and building motivation in recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for mood, anxiety, and coping with everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness useful for intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Diana works with clients to explore which combination of methods best fits their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to build practical skills and support lasting change.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging supports flexibility and access for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while tailoring communication style to each person’s comfort and needs.
