About Diane
Diane Cooper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Diane also supports those facing trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and work-related compassion fatigue.
Her approach is direct and down-to-earth. She aims to build an atmosphere where clients can talk about hard things without judgment.
How Diane works
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. Diane uses methods that emphasize the person in front of her. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and follow what matters most to each person.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals to create momentum. Over two decades of practice have included work with veterans, first responders, people exploring gender dysphoria, and those navigating non-monogamous relationships.
She also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar challenges, eating and sleeping problems, money stress, and feelings of isolation. In sessions, Diane keeps things practical. She helps clients break concerns into manageable steps and track progress.
The process is collaborative - clients set the pace and goals while she offers guidance and tools.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and builds trust so they can tackle hard topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change unhelpful habits. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical goals and steps that create visible progress in a short time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as things evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when schedules permit. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, updates between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, parenting, or shift schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
