Diana Hartwig, LISW

Diana Hartwig is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Diana draws on six years of clinical experience and tailors care to each person's needs.

Her approach centers on listening first and building a plan that fits real life. She uses client-centered work to understand what matters to each person, and then adds techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are woven in to help people manage strong feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.

Diana has particular experience with grief, loss, and caregiver stress, and she also supports people coping with chronic illness, aging and geriatric issues, and addictions. She works with challenges such as trauma, relationship problems, anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her style is strengths-based and down-to-earth.

In sessions she helps people set clear, achievable goals and practices skills that can be used between meetings. Diana encourages small steps that add up over time, and she adjusts approaches based on what is working. She aims to make therapy useful and manageable for busy lives.

To begin, Diana asks about current concerns and what a successful outcome would look like. She partners with people to find realistic changes and supports them as they try new ways of coping and relating.

How Diana Uses CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Online

Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on each person’s priorities and what matters most to them. Diana listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel realistic and relevant to daily life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Diana helps people spot those patterns and practice different ways of responding to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to help manage intense emotions and build steadier focus. These techniques can support grief work, stress, and chronic health concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana works with each person to choose which methods to try, adjusts them over time, and checks in about what helps and what does not. She encourages people to bring their goals and feedback to the process so treatment stays useful.

Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can let clients practice new skills immediately in their daily routines and keep momentum between appointments.
