About Diana

Diana Lively is an LPC based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with clients who struggle with self-esteem, trauma, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, and questions about intimacy. Diana also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career changes, and the strain of caregiving.

Diana draws on sixteen years of experience in mental health settings. She has a background in alcohol and drug counseling and has worked with co-occurring diagnoses in community mental health.

Background and approach

That practical history shapes how she approaches relapse prevention and recovery work. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to each person’s story, then helps them name patterns and try small, practical changes.

Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and gentle challenge to unhelpful thinking. Therapeutic tools Diana commonly uses include Narrative ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-based perspectives, client-centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She adapts techniques to fit what a person needs rather than following a single formula.

Many clients work with her on developing coping skills, improving communication, and creating routines that support recovery and emotional balance. She also offers group education about co-occurring disorders and relapse prevention when that fits someone’s goals. People who prefer online options can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or messaging.

Sessions are scheduled through a matching and booking process set by the platform.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Diana directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so someone can move toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Narrative approaches focus on the stories people tell about themselves. By examining those stories, a person can find different, more helpful ways to understand past events and current patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and behavior in close relationships. This can help people improve trust, boundaries, and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may mix techniques from different approaches to match what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions and quick check-ins about coping steps. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue support during major transitions.
