About Diana
Diana Heise is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or the daily strain of parenting. She also supports people managing impulsivity and the challenges that can come with ADHD.
She works in a warm, curious way and places value on the relationship between therapist and client. Sessions focus on listening first, then figuring out practical steps to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Diana uses questions and reflection to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. That mix helps people understand how early relationships shape reactions, feel heard in the moment, and learn concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions may include talking through recent situations, practicing new ways to respond, and setting simple goals between meetings. She aims to make the process manageable, breaking work into clear next steps that fit a person's life. Diana is licensed in Mississippi and conducts work in English.
She emphasizes patience and steady progress, and she encourages people to bring honest questions about what they need from therapy.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safe, responsive connections and looks at how early relationships shape reactions today. In sessions this means noticing patterns in relationships and learning new ways to respond to stress and closeness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people name their goals so work stays relevant and understandable.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical alternatives. It often includes short exercises or behavior experiments between sessions to build new habits and reduce symptoms.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Diana collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps people feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, real-time prompts, or when typing helps people organize thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
