About Dianna
Dianna Privitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and sleep problems. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction, parenting stress, and life transitions. Dianna speaks English and practices in California as an LMFT.
Dianna aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk. She works to create an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She describes counseling as a collaborative process that asks for courage and small steps toward change.
With six years of clinical experience she has worked with people dealing with complicated grieving, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and struggles around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, attachment concerns, and chronic illness-related stress.
Her approach draws on several methods to match a person’s needs. She uses client-centered conversations to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses attachment-focused and emotion-oriented work to help with close relationships and painful feelings.
Dianna helps people clarify values, set concrete goals, and try paced behavioral steps toward better sleep, steadier mood, and healthier relationships. If you are considering therapy, use the site tools to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems by focusing on small behavior changes and clarity about what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help with intimacy, relationship stress, and attachment-related anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience, using empathic listening and reflection to help people feel heard and make their own choices.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match goals, comfort, and the issues they want to address. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people work from a familiar setting and can make regular appointments easier to keep while working on sleep, stress, relationships, and daily routines.
