Dianna Privitt , LMFT

Dianna Privitt is a licensed therapist practicing in California who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. As an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she draws on training in relationship-focused and trauma-informed care to help clients navigate addictions, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, stress, anxiety, and other concerns. Dianna works from a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance and emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and supported as they pursue meaningful change.

Her practice is informed by approaches that center emotional connection and personal values, and she applies those methods to issues such as intimacy, parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life transitions. Dianna also brings attention to specialized concerns including attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and identity-related work for LGBT clients. She aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly and where the steps toward a more fulfilling life feel achievable.

Seeking therapy takes courage, and Dianna focuses on empowering each person to build practical strategies and deepen self-understanding. Her style is warm and grounded - supporting clients to clarify what matters to them and to take the next steps toward healthier relationships and greater emotional resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dianna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with emotionally focused techniques to support clients through online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build practical skills for living a meaningful life, especially when coping with anxiety, stress, or persistent difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients and couples address issues like abandonment, trust, and intimacy by exploring how early attachments influence current relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes identifying and expressing core emotions in relationships to repair connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dianna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains effective and aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy with Dianna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, and they allow ongoing work on addictions, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and daily coping in ways that fit into real life.
