About Diana

Diana Sebzda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 18 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Diana also helps with workplace struggles, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

She has a long history supporting people through end-of-life issues, bereavement, and disenfranchised losses such as pet loss and sudden deaths. Diana often addresses the overlap between grief and other problems, including trauma, guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue. She also provides coaching around career and reinvesting in life after loss or change.

Diana uses an eclectic mix of methods and draws on client-centered approaches to focus on each person's experience. Cognitive behavioral tools help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Sessions can involve talking through memories, testing small behavior changes, and practicing grounding or breathing skills. Narrative approaches are used to help people make sense of their stories and find meaning. Existential ideas come into play when clients are weighing questions of purpose and direction.

Her work blends practical coping skills with conversational exploration. That can look like short-term problem-solving or longer conversations about life meaning and next steps. People who are unsure what comes next often start by clarifying immediate priorities and small, manageable goals.

How Diana uses therapy approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people name concerns and set practical goals. This approach helps with emotional overwhelm, grief, and deciding next steps in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and small behavior experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, and reacting to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means combining conversational listening with skills practice, and adjusting over time based on what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera if someone prefers audio. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness practices, thought records, and narrative reflections for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on what matters to the client.
