Diana Sebzda

Diana Sebzda is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who focuses on grief and end-of-life concerns. She helps people facing loss, life transitions, and the complicated feelings that come with serious illness and bereavement. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at easing immediate distress and building skills for the days ahead.

She began working in grief and bereavement over 18 years ago and brings broad experience with end-of-life issues. That includes discussions about dying, death, spiritual questions, and disenfranchised losses such as pet loss or losses tied to suicide, overdose, or homicide. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, aging concerns, and cancer-related stress.

Diana borrows techniques from several therapies and adapts them to each person. She often uses cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness to manage strong emotions, and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their story. Sessions may include practical coping steps, breath-based grounding, and exercises to shift perspective.

She also offers life and career coaching elements when clients want direction after a loss or major change. Her work includes helping with relationship struggles, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and rebuilding self-esteem. Diana emphasizes kindness, realistic goals, and small steps that add up over time.

People who prefer a gentle, honest listener and clear tools for coping may find her helpful. To begin, clients complete an intake process and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches and what online work can look like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through grief, spiritual questions, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions during bereavement or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that mixes listening with hands-on tools and homework when that fits the client's needs.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or select shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let someone connect from a different time zone when international clients are involved. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and any preferences so sessions fit into everyday life.
