Diana Barfoot, LCSW, CSW

Diana Barfoot is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. She has six years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, addiction, or big life changes. Diana uses clear, practical methods to help people move forward and make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that can make a difference. Diana listens without judgment and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities, and mindfulness practices to help people calm intense feelings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are woven in when people want momentum and short-term goals.

Diana has supported people with stress, relationship concerns, and grief, and she offers help around self-esteem, codependency, and process addictions. She pays attention to guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation while helping people build self-compassion and clearer direction.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Diana describes therapy as a collaborative process and works with each person to find practical tools and approaches that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Diana often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood, and many day-to-day struggles because it focuses on small, practical changes.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what matters most to them. Mindfulness practices are added when people want tools to manage strong emotions and stay present without getting overwhelmed.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diana treats that as a collaboration - she and the person explore goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is a clear, workable strategy that fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. People can use video calls for fuller conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, short live chat check-ins for brief support, or ongoing text-based messaging for frequent, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
