About Diana
Dr. Diana Rowan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in psychotherapy. She offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, career crossroads, and major life changes. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where people can reflect and try new ways of coping.
Dr. Rowan uses a trauma-informed stance that honors the experiences a person brings into therapy. She partners with clients to build on strengths and to reframe patterns in relationships and life choices. Her background includes work with veterans, first responders, and people living with HIV, and she brings that experience into sessions when it is relevant to the person’s concerns.
Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She draws on these methods to address issues such as grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. The work often combines talking about past events with concrete skills for managing symptoms today.
Dr. Rowan holds a PhD in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Master of Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. She has been a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2008 and has practiced for two decades.
People who choose her often want a thoughtful, experienced clinician who listens closely and helps them test new ways of handling stress. To begin, she asks about your goals and tailors sessions to fit what you need and prefer.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Rowan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide much of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past traumatic events affect current feelings and reactions, and it supports processing those experiences so they interfere less with daily life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That plan can change over time as needs shift or new priorities emerge.
