Diana Hartwig is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on each person's strengths. Diana uses a straightforward, practical style so conversations feel approachable and useful.
She trained in social work and counseling and has six years of clinical experience. That background includes work with trauma, relationship concerns, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and grief and loss. Diana also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness or disability, aging concerns, and end-of-life issues.
Diana relies on client-centered principles to shape sessions. She listens first, then builds on what a person already does well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of feeling better. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment calm.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help changing habits or addressing substance use. Narrative techniques support people who want to make sense of painful experiences and rewrite the story they tell about themselves. Sessions are tailored to the person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Diana emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. She helps people set realistic goals and try small changes between sessions. The work is steady and respectful, aimed at building skills for coping and better day-to-day functioning.
