About Dianna

Dianna M Shaw is a Pennsylvania-licensed LPC with 24 years of clinical experience who works with adults seeking clearer direction, stronger coping skills, and relief from overwhelming emotions.

Background and approach

She often supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and helps those navigating life purpose questions, seasonal mood shifts, and young adult concerns. Her practice emphasizes practical tools alongside personal insight to help clients take manageable steps forward.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral strategies with narrative therapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect a compassionate, steady clinician who helps identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and construct new stories about identity and goals.

Dianna also brings experience addressing anger, grief, addictions, sleep and eating struggles, parenting and career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to balance skill-building and reflective exploration so clients gain both immediate coping options and longer-term growth.

Dianna frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering professional guidance while honoring each client’s unique experience and priorities.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and practical coping skills. Narrative therapy helps people explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity and opening space for new possibilities and goals.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then combine CBT and narrative techniques as appropriate so treatment matches what the person hopes to achieve. Flexibility in method and pacing is a core part of the work.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These options allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible, supporting consistent progress and adaptable support.
