Diana Grello

Diana Grello is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with people facing low self-esteem, mood changes, trauma and abuse, and the wear of compassion fatigue. Her approach begins with listening and recognizing each person's strengths.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on practical steps and real conversation rather than jargon. Diana uses a mix of methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that stick.

Diana draws on acceptance-based techniques to help people live with difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions. Attachment-based work informs how she looks at relationship patterns and connection.

Her style is warm and straightforward. People can expect a calm, supportive space to talk, try new ways of relating, and plan practical steps. Diana aims to tailor each session to what a person needs that week.

Over 13 years of practice, she has helped people with life transitions, parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and social anxiety. Those who seek help for grief, depression, seasonal mood shifts, or questions of life purpose may find clear tools and steady support.

How Diana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Diana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Diana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can start in the first few sessions and shift as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care now. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow quick check-ins when a shorter meeting helps. Some formats may be better for quieter conversations while others suit brief skill practice or phone check-ins, so discussing practical needs up front helps find the best match for scheduling and day-to-day life.
