About Diana
Diana Grello is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, parenting strains, grief, and depression. She guides clients through life changes and the exhaustion that can come from caregiving and compassion fatigue. Diana aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable first step rather than a big leap.
She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. Diana sees clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon or long lectures. Her approach blends strategies from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based therapies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take meaningful action. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional understanding.
Over 13 years she has supported people dealing with family problems, blended family tensions, communication breakdowns, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Diana also addresses issues like control struggles, shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Many sessions include concrete tools for coping with mood shifts, seasonal struggles such as SAD, social anxiety, and parenting stress.
She uses short-term skills and longer conversations depending on what a person needs. Diana aims to make therapy useful and realistic for everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that make problems worse and practicing new skills to change behavior and mood. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can help with relationship tensions and family conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time to fit what’s working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or ongoing support when schedules are tight. These options help fit therapy into busy family life, work breaks, or when travel would otherwise make attending in person difficult.
