About Diana
Diana Sebzda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of practice. She works with adults facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges like guilt and shame. Diana also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, end-of-life issues, and workplace or career concerns.
She pays attention to how problems connect. Grief can sit alongside spiritual questions, relationship strain, trauma, or loss that others may not recognize. Diana combines practical tools with conversational reflection to address those linked issues. Sessions involve listening, naming what feels heavy, and trying tangible steps to cope.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, narrative work, mindfulness, and existential ideas. That mix means sessions might include looking at thoughts that keep someone stuck, retelling painful stories to find different meanings, practicing simple mindful habits, and discussing values that matter now.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete exercises they can use between meetings. Diana uses coaching techniques when helpful, for example around career moves or reinvesting in life after loss. She also addresses less acknowledged griefs such as pet loss, disenfranchised relationships, and traumatic bereavement.
Diana has worked with issues common to first responders, people facing illness or hospice care, and those feeling isolated. English is the language offered. People who want to explore whether she is a good fit are asked to start by completing the site matching steps and scheduling an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Diana commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or guilt active and introduces small experiments and thought-checking to shift those patterns. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those accounts so they feel less defined by past harms.Mindfulness practice can be added to help with sleeplessness, anger, or recurring worry by training attention on the present and simple breathing or grounding exercises. These methods are practical and aimed at things people can try between sessions to notice change over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and pacing sessions to what feels useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into workdays, caregiving schedules, or treatment plans by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for less screen time or for a quick coaching-style conversation; confirm what is offered and what will work best for the client's routine.
