About Dianna
Dianna Privitt is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and parenting stress. Sessions are spoken in English and she does not accept international clients.
Dianna emphasizes straightforward conversation. She listens to what is happening at home, then focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Expect a calm pace, time to name what feels difficult, and work on clearer communication and coping skills that fit daily life.
Her approach draws on therapies that attend to values, attachment, and emotions. That means she may help people notice what they care about, track how close relationships feel, and practice new ways of responding in tense moments. These methods are commonly used for intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and grief.
Dianna also uses client-centered and existential ideas. The client-centered stance keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s own perspective. Existential questions help when people face big life changes or search for meaning after loss or illness.
Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns, including LGBT issues, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and mood concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also lists experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, attachment problems, and some personality-related struggles. Sessions are arranged through the site's matching process and subscription plan.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and online care
Dianna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and when someone feels stuck by old habits.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness and conflict. That approach can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and ongoing family stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dianna will discuss options together and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different therapies to fit everyday life.
The original profile does not list which online formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are possible. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel, and do shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to keep progress steady while people manage work, parenting, and caregiving responsibilities.
