About Diane

Diane Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 23 years of professional experience. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including relationship and parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence.

Background and approach

Diane also addresses issues such as addiction, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to identity and non-traditional relationships. Her approach centers on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and life changes at their own pace.

She draws from client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s perspective, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and employs solution-focused strategies to help clients set practical goals and notice progress. Diane encourages small, achievable steps and partners collaboratively with clients to tailor strategies that fit their circumstances.

New clients are invited to take the step of starting therapy through a brief matching process and scheduling according to availability. Diane values the courage it takes to begin treatment and aims to make the process approachable and supportive for those seeking change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Diane draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's experience without judgment and building a respectful therapeutic relationship; it helps when someone needs empathy and a space to process emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical tools to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods accordingly, combining supportive listening with skill-building and goal-focused steps so the plan fits the individual.

Online therapy with Diane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
