01About Dianna
Dianna M Shaw is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She welcomes young adults working on life purpose and those coping with seasonal emotional shifts. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at building day-to-day coping skills.
She draws on 24 years of experience to offer clear, straightforward support. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and trying small, doable changes.
Background and approach
People often work on anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep or eating concerns, and career or parenting stress. Dianna uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Together these approaches aim to make problems feel more manageable and to open up new options for action. In a session she listens, asks practical questions, and suggests exercises you can try between meetings. Work may include goal setting, coping skills for anger or cravings, or steps to address compassion fatigue and grief.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting strain, ADHD, and seasonal affective disorder. Dianna emphasizes collaboration and respect while helping people move toward clearer priorities and more balanced daily routines.

How CBT and Narrative Therapy work online
Dianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach often includes short exercises and tracking moods or actions between sessions. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to rewrite those stories in ways that open new choices and reduce shame.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest one or a mix of methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on how each person responds and what fits their life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
