About Diamond
LMHC Diamond Marie Thaxton has seven years of clinical experience and practices in New York. She focuses on addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, and depression. Diamond uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Diamond describes her style as direct and solution-focused. She encourages clients to notice their own answers and build skills they can use outside sessions. She often assigns short tasks to help develop healthier habits and track progress between meetings.
Her background includes supporting people with substance and behavioral addictions and relationship problems such as infidelity and communication breakdowns. She also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, jealousy, and isolation. She lists autism and Asperger Syndrome among areas she addresses.
Diamond welcomes a range of relationship configurations and says she works with clients navigating kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics. She also supports people who are dating or rebuilding trust after betrayals. Her approach emphasizes accountability and practical steps rather than lengthy interpretation.
She notes her practice is intended for people who already have some capacity for self-directed work and are not in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms. Sessions are conducted in English and take place under the licensure details she provides for New York.

How her approaches translate to online work
Diamond uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors; this approach helps with mood issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is ambivalent about change; it focuses on strengthening personal motivation for things like reducing substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and what’s already working; it’s geared toward quick, practical change for relationship or day-to-day challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
The biography indicates live chat is the offered modality, so confirm that option before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients keep written notes of what was discussed. These practical benefits help some people follow through on homework assignments and see how skills are applied between sessions.
