   About Diana

   Diana Grello is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family challenges. She works with individuals struggling with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Diana emphasizes strengths and supports clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

   She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and gentle encouragement. Diana uses a collaborative style that centers the client's values and choices.

   Her approach combines evidence-based methods to suit each person’s needs. She draws on motivational interviewing to foster internal motivation, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action. Attachment-based and client-centered practices shape how she builds a working relationship.

   Over 13 years of experience inform her work in New York. Diana aims to make therapy feel straightforward and workable for busy lives. She supports people through separation, blended family tensions, communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

   Sessions are aimed at helping people cope with guilt, shame, isolation, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and forgiveness challenges. Diana encourages small changes that add up and helps clients track progress between meetings.

2. How Diana adapts approaches for online work

   Diana often uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting a person's own motivation to take steps forward. It can be useful for anyone stuck on a decision or wanting to build momentum for change.
   
   She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven actions. ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, and mood concerns where getting unstuck matters more than changing every thought. Attachment-based ideas guide how she builds a steady working relationship, paying attention to patterns of connection that affect relationships and parenting.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts approaches as therapy progresses.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Some people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when days are busy. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
