Dianna M Shaw is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and major life shifts. Her work often supports young adults looking for life purpose and people dealing with seasonal mood changes. She uses straightforward methods that help people name what’s troubling them and try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize practical skills for coping, clearer thinking, and setting realistic goals. She helps clients break big problems into small steps they can practice between meetings. Dianna blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. That mix lets clients change unhelpful thinking patterns while also making sense of their life story. The goal is to build skills and a clearer sense of who someone wants to become. Her background centers on understanding transitions and everyday pressures. She brings a calm, steady presence and listens for what matters most to each person. People looking for help with grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, career decisions, or compassion fatigue will find focused, practical support. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and the exact session options should be confirmed when you book.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Dianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep or routine changes.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps people separate problems from identity and find new meanings after loss, trauma, or career shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dianna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan as you progress.
