It’s so nice to have someone to talk to about my personal issues. I do believe she is listening to me and will be able to help me cope with issues, and provide feedback on new ways to help me be my best self.
She is very understanding and helps point me in the direction to help me help myself
Diana is great! I love the amount of homework she gives me and she responds almost immediately.
I am so thankful I could reach out to BetterHelp and find my therapist Diana. She has given me hope and friendship in a season of loneliness, uncertainty and silence. I look forward to her messages, worksheets and therapy sessions. Diana is a great listener.
She’s understanding and listens good.
She offers support and good information.
An excellent guide on my journey to better health. Diana listens, asks appropriate questions, and provides tools for the process. I find her easy to talk to without feeling any judgement. I am thankful to have found a place and person to help me navigate these waters!
Diana has helped me out tremendously. She has taken the time to understand my situation and provide me several different ways to understand them and overcome them. I would recommend her to anyone who was needing even the slightest bit of help. 11/10
I’m only one session in, but I’m looking forward to working with Diana. I immediately felt safe, heard and left my first session feeling hopeful. My schedule is really difficult to work with and the assignments help keep me engaged in my therapy. Talk soon Diana!
I strongly encourage people to use this as a means for counseling. My counselor talks to me multiple times weekly through chats then we have one session a week.
Diana Lively is giving me the tools to cope with my anxiety/panic attacks holistically. Natural ways to help me & I am so grateful for this.
