More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 12 State: Georgia

Welcome and I applaud you on taking the first step toward getting your life where you would like it to be. Reaching out can be scary and I would love the opportunity to assist you on your therapy journey. Life can be challenging and my goal is to help you explore your options. I have a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. I have more than 12 years combined experience in mental health. As a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, I have worked with others that are feeling stuck in their lives. My counseling experience can work to your advantage. My counseling approach is brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My goal is to help you where you are now to get to where you want to be. While this is online, it isn't a "quick fix" and you will have to do some 'work' to get to where you want to go. Whether you feel depressed, anxious, feeling overwhelmed, or not sure of your next steps, let's talk so we can explore your next steps. I believe you can do this. Be empowered!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

She is absolutely wonderful.

Diane has been wonderful and is helping me through some rough times. Thank you so much, Diane.

She’s great!

She is amazing and love her to bits

Diane has been super responsive since day one. She has offered me both live (one session per week) and asynchronous messages, which she diligently replies to within 24h. I was not sure what to expect, but Diane understood where I stand from day 1 and has been a great guide. She is very respectful, great listener, and can pinpoint the important aspects on what I tell her. I feel I have done a great progress with her help in this first weeks of therapy. I highly recommend her!

Diane has been such an incredible therapist. I truly cannot thank her enough for always seeing me as me, meeting me where I am, and helping me along my journey. She's helped me identify pain that I didn't know existed, and has worked with me to work through trauma in many vast areas. I am truly so thankful for all she has done for me, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for everything, Diane.

Diane gore's it very patient and knowledgeable. She will listen to your concerns the give you methods of ways to tackle any of your issues. And provide helpful worksheets for you to work through. We can have light hearted conversation while digging in deeps to core issues and trauma.

wonderful

Think is amazing and love her to bits and help me lots way

Diane is very easy to talk to and understands the human element. She has helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. Highly recommend!

Diane is easy to talk to, a good listener, and offers thoughtful encouragement. She is supportive and open minded. I appreciate our time together.

Diane is a wonderful addition to my life. I can discuss anything that I’ve been trying to work on and she has a link, or a routine ready to suggest. I have severe anxiety, depression & PTSD, ADHD & so on. I didn’t know if better help would work for me, but the 24/7 access to leave a message or text has helped me significantly.

The help and guidance I have received is way past my expectations never once did I feel uncomfortable in sharing my thoughts

10/10 would recommend

Diane has been great so far. She is capable of listening and understanding the issues, and is compassionate and supportive. She has provided resources and made herself available as much as possible.

Diane is incredibly perceptive. She picks up on things I wasn’t even aware of, and has helped me immensely through many issues. She caring, empathetic, and excellent listener, and responsive to my needs and concerns. I’ve been extremely impressed with her and am even more grateful. She’s a true blessing and highly skilled.

I need Diane more than ever she amazing and love her and my support and encouragement and rock

I have really appreciated working with Diane. She is a great listener and is patient with helping me to find my way. I like that she does not tell me what to do or how to think, but asks questions and guides me to make my own discoveries. She is a kind ear, while also showing her strength to help me reinforce boundaries, work through a difficult time, and focus on positive coping and self-reflection. Thanks, Diane.

I really appreciate that she help me on any topic I need assistance for

She has been very easy to talk with and hasnt made me feel like I'm a burden and has made it very clear my feelings shouldnt be viewed as such. Best interactions I've had in along time.

Think world Diane first person go to when need help

I really like Diane. She doesn’t make me feel like I’m doing things wrong and she validated how I feel

She’s the best. Really feel comfortable opening up to her. She’s open, honest, and understanding. Great at helping you work through your issues or even giving you resources. So happy to have her help.

Diane is attentive and understanding. She made me feel listened to and always allowed me to take up the space I needed during our sessions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a space to talk through their thoughts and feelings in an unjudgemental manner.

She's upbeat, nice , supportive and understanding

Friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, empathic

Diane has been incredible in helping me. She has always been available to talk to about things and makes sure to always make me feel heard. I have made great strides in my confidence to voice how i feel and develop skills i can apply to everyday scenarios through working with Diane. Diane made a massive positive impact on my life and I hope she can help do the same for you!

I’ve had a great time speaking with Diane, she is a great listener and provided me with good tools to help me in my journey, and even when some tools didn’t quite work, she was able to help me navigate my mental health journey in other ways. Many thanks to her I’m able to take a break from therapy and I’d recommend her to anyone

Caring, kind, interactive. Definitely there for you and genuinely wants you to succeed where you need help. Thank you!

Best therapist ever.

Diane is very helpful and understanding, definitely would recommend.

I am really impressed so far but I have only had one video session thus far so it is a little too early to be able to give a really detailed review.

I look forward to my calls and my chats with Diane. She's very open, bubbly and her style of therapy is thought provoking. It's almost as if she's encouraging me to learn to think for myself rather than spoon feeding me. Teaching me how to fish basically so I can survive in the world by myself. She's like a dear friend now and I really highly recommend Diane!

The most important part of therapy for me is that I feel comfortable to open up and speak freely about my life experiences, and I definitely found that in Diane. She also understands my need to laugh at myself for sanity sake.

so lucky to have found her.

As soon as we started talking it was like a weight had lifted from my shoulders. It’s like talking to a friend. Diane has a relaxed and professional approach which doesn’t make therapy feel so clinical.

Very helpful and positive. Diane gave me actual instruction when I didn’t know where to start. She’s great about checking in if I don’t reach out for a few days.

Diane is wonderful!

Diane is wonderful. She listens to every aspect you tell her. She hears you and understands you. Diane ensures that you are at a place to thrive and succeed. Diane has made me feel seen and heard and has truly helped me grow!

Diane really is the best. I joke that I’m one of her favorites all the time, because she really is mine. I don’t know if I could do life without her!

amazing experience, so caring and helpful

She is just absolutely wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about her. I’ve already felt a little more confident and In control in my life and I’m looking forward to working with her more.

Diane is a wonderful counselor! I am so pleased to have her expertise. Would highly recommend.

I love Diane! I feel so respected and happy coming away from every appointment. Thank you !

I would highly recommend working with Diane Gores. She goes out of her way to understand you, what you would like to work on and always does so in a friendly way. She makes me feel comfortable to share my needs and explains techniques very simply and clearly, there's no confusion which I've had with techniques in councelling before. Working with Diane doesn't feel like councelling it feels like a conversation and she always makes sure that you feel your questions are answered.

Diane has been amazing! I look forward to continuing working with her and get to where i want to be. She is respectful, caring and very relatable, you can tell she loves her job and it comes through in my interactions with her!

Diane has given very useful tools so far. She is very responsive, friendly and understanding. I’m thankful to be getting her help.

Diane is very comforting and professional. She responds quickly and I'm confident she can help just about anyone :)

I’ve been working with Diane for quite some time now, and I couldn’t appreciate her more. She has an incredible sense of compassion, a killer memory, and an empathetic attitude to make anyone feel safe and heard. I come away from every session feeling immensely better, no matter what my initial mood was. She’s fantastic!

I believe Diane is very patient and understanding and offers great insight on why things are the way they are. She is right beside me the whole journey

Really like Diane

I’m gonna preface this by saying I am NOT a therapy person. Always hated the idea of it. However, I ran into some very hard times and finally decided to try it because worst case it did nothing. Boy was I wrong. Diane is a very easy person to talk to. I’m normally pretty guarded, but I felt at ease pretty quickly and was able to talk about the issues at hand. Her insight was excellent. It made me reflect and figure out FOR MYSELF what I wanted and needed in order to pull out of the low spot I was in. I can’t recommend her enough. I consider myself lucky to have found such a good therapist on my first try.

I only just started but I felt from the beginning that Diana listens to what I say and gives me very helpful advises. I only had one session with her so far - but we message in between as well which I really appreciate since one session is sometimes not enough time and then there is a two weeks gap between sessions: but wir gehe messages you can continuously communicate. However I prefer the video session generally. Diana was very positive, friendly and gave me a feeling that made me comfortable telling her personal things -even though I did not know her before. So thanks for that. I am looking forward to work with Diane and hopefully find the answers that I am looking for with her help.

Diane Gores (LPC) has helped me feel better. I can conquer any task and be confident because I'm asking myself questions and changing my thoughts. Before, I was panic stricken and uncomfortable too much of the time. She is supportive but not overbearing. I would 100% recommend her.

I think better help has really helped me get through an extremely stressful time to be alive. I had a lot of grief and anxiety going into my first sessions but now I feel less hopeless and strange. I have been lucky that my situation is getting better outside of therapy but I think that I’m working on myself in a very real way.

Diane is great! My first experience with therapy and it's been so nice.

She’s very helpful and intuitive. Very thankful for her advice!

Diane really takes the time to listen to me and provide practical steps to dealing with what I'm going through which I think is great because I get to put it into practice in between sessions. She's a great counsellor.

Diane has been great in listening and asking right questions that helped me reflect from a different angle on the situation I've discussed with her. After just one session I started feeling way better.

Diane is amazing. She is a good balance between giving advice to keeping it client-centered.

Talking with Diane has helped me come to terms with a lot of things I haven't been able to speak about with my friends. She is helping me work through my issues by listening and giving gentle guidance to help me work towards a better self.

Love her! She's been so helpful.

Getting actionable steps to help me over my struggles has been extremely helpful. Diane listens to what is happening and helps me sets up a game plan to figure out how to change habits. She's responsive and insightful while remaining light. I appreciate her very much.

Diane was so supportive of me. I've tried multiple counselors but I truly felt that Diane offered the best balance between listening and problem-solving. She has taught me so much about how to approach my emotions in a calm and mature manner, and I've built up a close relationship with her over these few weeks. Really would recommend!

Diane has been such a tremendous help on a lot of things for! She is always there when I need her and I’m so thankful!

I have gone through quite a few therapists in my life. Diane is the only one who I feel like truly sees and respects me as a person. I look forward to talking to her and am willing to tell her my more “embarrassing” thoughts or feelings because I know she won’t ever judge me, but will meet me where I am at. Many counselors say they do this, but only few “walk the walk.” I appreciate Diane very much for her compassion.

She’s aweome!

I have been experiencing a major change and Diane has made it much easier to work through. She is always compassionate and understanding, and tried to understand situations from my point of view. Every time I've spoken with her, I leave the conversation with a fresh perspective.

Diane does a great job of listening and providing prompt feedback and support for my ongoing needs. She's attentive, flexible and able to adapt to the changes in my life.

She has been amazing for helping me talk through the things I think about internally and providing an outlet to help me direct my search for answers to the right spots in my behavior and brain activity. I am grateful for being able to have some supportive guidance as I work through these issues.

My conversations with Diane have been pleasant, even when discussing difficult topics. Moreover, while I’ve felt embarrassed about some of thing things I’ve shared with her, she’s never once judged me or rushed to blame. It really helps to be able to speak with her earnestly like that.

Diane is the therapist that I wish I had found years ago. After having horrible experiences with half a dozen, it is a miracle that I found a person so warm, open minded and incredibly helpful to fully trust. I hope she sticks around!!!

Diane has been great - supportive and insightful

I found Diane when I had almost given up on counselling. I have always avoided speaking with a counsellor for many reasons, but having a chance to talk to Diane has cleared all my doubts. I have trusted her with secrets that I do not feel comfortable discussing even with my closest friends.

Diane has been and continues to be amazing! She has a lot of well-guided insight to share with me and is currently my anchor while I take back control over my life. I am experiencing relationship issues which I am for the first time in my life unable to guide or control. Diane Gores has been patient, understanding & wise in the way she responds to my writings and I am, grateful to have her on my side!
