Dianna Privitt , LMFT

Dianna Privitt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and stress, and a wide range of intimacy and identity concerns. Her areas of practice also include eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and blended family issues, bipolar disorder and depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Dianna combines a trauma-informed, relational perspective with practical strategies to address both immediate symptoms and long-term patterns. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and where clients are invited to define their own goals. Dianna approaches each person with empathy and clear collaboration, working to empower individuals and families as they take steps toward greater wellbeing. Whether the focus is rebuilding trust after loss, managing addictive behaviors, or strengthening communication within relationships, she supports clients through each stage of change and recovery.

Dianna’s practice centers on respectful listening, gentle challenge, and skills that help people reconnect with their values and build more satisfying, sustainable lives.

How Dianna’s Approaches Work Remotely

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and guides them to take meaningful action aligned with their values - useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping clients understand how attachment affects current intimacy and family dynamics and offering ways to build more secure connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape interactions in close relationships, supporting couples and family members to express needs constructively and repair ruptures.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dianna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Dianna can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
