About Diana
Diana Najera is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and depression. She draws on six years of practice to guide clients through hard moments and life transitions. Diana speaks English and Spanish and offers sessions by video, phone, chat, or text for flexibility.
She centers the person’s own story in therapy. Diana uses Narrative Therapy to help people name the events and patterns that shape their experience.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach practical skills for handling anxiety and low mood. In sessions she works collaboratively and with clear goals. Conversations focus on identifying strengths, testing small changes, and building routines that reduce stress.
Parents often work on communication, coping after loss, and managing postpartum depression symptoms. Diana has experience addressing aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and end-of-life and hospice-related worries. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-love as they rebuild daily life.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She helps people try short, manageable experiments between sessions and reflects on what works. Practical tools and everyday language are used so progress can carry over into real life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT translate to online sessions
Online therapy lets Diana use Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reorganize the stories that shape their lives. That approach focuses on separating the person from the problem and looking for alternative plotlines that support healthier choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by teaching simple exercises to notice thoughts, accept hard feelings, and commit to values-based action when stress or anxiety shows up.She approaches treatment as a collaboration. Together the client and Diana decide which tools to try, tailor goals to daily routines, and adjust methods if something does not fit. Finding the right mix of narrative work, ACT exercises, or CBT-style skill practice happens over the first few sessions as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and behavioral work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or when a short update fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other obligations.
