Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and person-centered, so clients help shape the topics and pace of care. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. Dianna often supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy questions, and identity concerns.
She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, and complications from chronic pain or illness. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are frequent focuses in her work. With five years of clinical experience, Dianna uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-informed methods.
She combines those tools with a client-centered attitude to tailor sessions to what matters to the individual. Many people come to her for help navigating transitions like divorce, career change, or recovery from addiction. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns like avoidance or rumination. CBT can help with panic, insomnia, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan reflects changing needs over time and focuses on what a person wants to accomplish.
Session format details are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still lets them practice skills, check progress, and apply new habits between sessions. If you prefer a specific format, confirm it when you schedule so the therapist can plan accordingly.
