About Diamond Marie Thaxton

As a therapist, my approach is contemporary and uniquely tailored to each client. Everyone has the answers within themselves and sometimes needs the proper guidance to trust their intuition and develop essential skills for life’s complexities. My style is direct yet comforting and solution-focused, ideal for busy individuals who use therapy as a pitstop to reflect and reset. I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate relationship concerns and substance and behavioral addictions, as well as assisting people to become the best versions of themselves. I emphasize accountability, providing assignments to help adopt healthy habits for lifelong change.

I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of relationships using methods like the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy. I welcome all types of relationships, including kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics. My approach focuses on helping couples create stronger connections by encouraging self-reflection and personal growth. Additionally, I support clients navigating the dating scene and those working through challenges such as infidelity, aiming to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I specialize in working with clients who possess a foundational level of self-healing and are seeking to navigate challenging situations with resilience. I do not work with individuals in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms, as my therapeutic approach is best suited for those prepared to engage in solution-focused strategies for personal growth.

I exclusively offer live chat sessions as my chosen modality. This approach minimizes barriers to care, providing a comfortable and accessible platform for clients. Many individuals find they can express themselves more effectively in writing and better retain new mental health interventions when they read them.

Are you ready to reach a new level of optimal wellness, break down mental blocks, and face challenges head-on with self-compassion and empowerment? Let’s work together and make it happen!

“I feel like Diamond has taken the time to know what’s goin on with me. References past conversations and recognizes patterns I tend to show. I feel like she’s giving me the best she can and very thoughtful about it while holding me accountable. Therapy has helped so much and I recommend it to everyone.”

“Very insightful and clearly takes her job seriously and passionately”

“For my first time doing therapy, I feel as if Diamond so far has what I'm looking for in a therapist, being well communicative, willing to listen to what I have to say no matter how long my messages may be, but after the first video session, I felt at ease talking about my past, something I never really gotten into. Overall I believe she will help me overcome a lot of things and I'm grateful for her help”
