About Diamond
Diamond Marie Thaxton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She uses a direct, comforting, and solution-focused style to help people reflect, reset, and build lasting habits. Her work often centers on relationship concerns, addiction issues, and improving overall well-being.
She believes people have many answers inside themselves and that therapy is a place to develop skills and trust intuition. Sessions emphasize accountability and practical homework to turn insights into everyday change. Diamond aims to make therapy efficient for busy lives while still addressing deeper patterns that matter.
Her background includes focused work with relationship struggles such as infidelity, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with substance and behavioral addictions, codependency, and mood concerns like depression. Money and financial issues are among the additional areas she helps clients address alongside life transitions and identity-related topics.
Diamond welcomes a range of relationship styles and assists individuals navigating dating, kink-friendly, and polyamorous dynamics. She works with clients who are ready to use solution-focused strategies and who can engage in regular assignments between sessions. She does not take on individuals in acute crisis or those with severe mental health symptoms, as her approach is geared toward people prepared for structured growth.
All sessions are conducted via live chat, which Diamond uses to lower access barriers and support clients who express themselves more clearly in writing. Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Diamond frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try new behaviors and coping skills to reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person’s readiness to change and to strengthen their own motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving finances. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on concrete goals and small, practical steps clients can take between sessions to move toward what they want.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That choice can shift over time as goals evolve and the work progresses.
All work is offered online through the therapist’s stated session format, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Many people find written chat helpful for organizing thoughts, tracking homework, and reviewing interventions they can re-read after a session.
