Diamond Marie Thaxton, LMHC

Diamond Marie Thaxton offers a contemporary, individualized approach that balances direct guidance with a compassionate, solution-focused style. She works from the belief that many people carry their own answers and sometimes need practical support to trust their intuition and develop skills for navigating life's complexities. Her method is concise and encouraging, well suited to busy individuals who use therapy as a chance to reflect, reset, and move forward. Diamond places strong emphasis on accountability and frequently provides structured assignments to help clients build healthy habits and create lasting change.

She brings extensive experience addressing relationship concerns and both substance and behavioral addictions, guiding people toward healthier patterns and improved connection. Diamond integrates methods such as the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy when working with couples and is welcoming of diverse relationship styles, including kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics. Her work with couples centers on promoting self-reflection, personal growth, and more resilient bonds, and she also supports individuals navigating dating, infidelity, and other relational challenges.

Diamond specializes in partnering with clients who have a foundational level of self-healing and who are prepared to engage in solution-focused strategies for personal growth. She does not work with individuals in crisis or those experiencing severe mental health symptoms. Clinically, she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set goals and take actionable steps toward improved well-being.

As part of her practice, Diamond exclusively offers live chat sessions as her chosen modality. This format aims to reduce barriers to care and provide a comfortable avenue for expression - many people find they can communicate more clearly in writing and retain therapeutic tools more readily when they can read them. Diamond is credentialed as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
