About Diana
Diana Lively is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency among other concerns.
Diana uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and acceptance-based tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She also brings attachment-focused ideas to conversations about how past relationships shape current reactions.
Her background includes work in community mental health and programs for co-occurring disorders. That experience shaped her focus on relapse prevention, psycho-education, and group-based recovery supports. She has led outpatient recovery and prevention groups and worked with court referral programs offering alternatives to sentencing and rehabilitation services.
Diana blends several clinical approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses skills training, mindfulness practices, and structured models that emphasize relapse prevention and coping strategies. She also uses family-focused techniques to help people understand relationship dynamics and communication patterns.
Practical goals in her work include improving coping with cravings or urges, reducing panic or worry, strengthening boundaries, and helping people reconnect to values and routine. Sessions involve clear explanation of tools, practice of new behaviors, and planning for how to use those skills outside of therapy.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build different habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and relapse prevention.
Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationships shape current reactions. This can be helpful when someone wants clearer boundaries or better emotional responses in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, and try methods that fit. That collaborative process may include trying different tools from ACT, CBT, or attachment work to see what helps most.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find they can practice skills between sessions in their everyday settings, which supports relapse prevention and habit change.
