About Diana

Diana Cron is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She combines practical conversation and focused strategies to help people untangle thoughts, feelings, and actions. Diana speaks English and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.

Diana draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems repeating.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with grounding and emotional regulation. In sessions she listens first and follows each person’s priorities. People set the agenda while she offers gentle guidance and tools to try between meetings.

The goal is to find manageable steps that fit day-to-day life. Her background includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, attachment challenges, and adoption and foster care concerns. She has also supported people dealing with ADHD, addictions, substance-related issues, and seasonal mood changes.

Diana approaches concerns such as compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and prejudice-related stress with attention to context and life demands. She helps with communication problems, body image, and the guilt or shame that often follows difficult events. Practical matters like appointment format and follow-up are handled collaboratively.

Diana uses short-term goals and measurable steps when those fit the person’s needs, and adapts approaches as work progresses.

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

Online sessions often use Narrative Therapy to look at the stories that shape how someone sees themselves. This approach helps people identify unhelpful narratives and try alternative ways of describing their experiences, which can reduce shame and increase agency.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used in online work to spot thought and behavior patterns. CBT provides concrete exercises and experiments people can do between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness Therapy techniques are taught in short practices that fit daily life. These skills support grounding, reduce reactivity, and help with stress and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions are useful when video is difficult or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, follow-ups, and options for people who prefer writing. These choices make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
