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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
Written on Sep 14, 2020 after therapy with Diane for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
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.

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.
