Diana Grello , LMHC

Diana Grello is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship friction, grief, and parenting challenges. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Diana emphasizes strengths and works with clients who want clearer direction and greater balance in daily life.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean learning new coping skills from cognitive behavioral therapy or practicing acceptance and values-based choices from ACT. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and patterns that cause distress.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Diana encourages clients to notice what already works for them and to try small changes that build confidence. She explains tools in plain language and practices together until clients feel comfortable using them on their own.

Over 13 years of practice Diana has supported people through loss, trauma, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and seasonal mood changes. She also addresses communication problems, blended family issues, forgiveness, guilt, and isolation. Her experience includes helping people with depression, social anxiety, and life transitions.

Diana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit varied schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. All work is conducted in English and she is licensed as an LMHC in New York.

How Diana’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting focus from avoidance to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fears.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process includes trying techniques in session and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be more flexible when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days while still using ACT, CBT, or attachment-based work.
