About Diana
Diana Johnstone offers therapy grounded in client-centered care and practical skill building. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. Diana focuses on trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and problems with mood and self-esteem, and she aims to make each session feel clear and manageable.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anger, and difficult memories. Sessions focus on safety, pacing, and using skills to manage intense emotions.
Background and approach
Diana works with survivors of sexual abuse and assault and supports people dealing with dissociation, panic, or post-traumatic stress. Diana uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma memories, and mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind.
She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and practical coping tools for everyday life. Her style centers on strengths and on teaching skills that can be used between sessions. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and talked through.
Many sessions include breathing, grounding, and straightforward strategies to reduce overwhelm. People who reach out can expect a steady, skills-focused path toward clearer thinking and better regulation. Diana encourages small steps and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy.
She offers care from Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations around their priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their intensity through structured sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean using CBT tools for daily coping, EMDR for targeted trauma memories, or mixing mindfulness and DBT skills to manage emotional ups and downs.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit sessions into busy days or difficult routines while still working on trauma, mood, and stress-related concerns.
