Diana Najera, LCSW

Diana Najera is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. She works in English and Spanish and draws on six years of clinical experience to support practical coping and clear next steps. Diana emphasizes each person's strengths and respects their knowledge of their own life. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems stuck. Diana uses everyday language and simple exercises you can try between sessions. She focuses on goals you set together rather than imposing a fixed plan. Diana uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas to name what matters, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, and narrative work to reframe painful stories. She also draws on attachment-based and solution-focused methods when those fit the concern. Her practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and postpartum mood struggles. Diana also supports work around guilt, shame, forgiveness, self-love, and communication problems. Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and paced to what feels manageable. She encourages people to try small changes and notice what shifts. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How Diana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. This is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach can reduce worry and low mood by building new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how important relationships shape expectations and emotions; it can help with communication problems, caregiver stress, and making sense of difficult relational patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts tools over time rather than sticking to a single technique, so clients and therapist decide together what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone work on grief, caregiver stress, or aging-related concerns from whatever setting best supports their focus. If you have questions about format or scheduling, check the booking details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
