Dianna Privitt , LMFT

Dianna Privitt is a California-licensed therapist with six years of clinical experience who supports people working through addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), she draws on training that focuses on how relationships and family patterns affect emotional well-being and recovery.

She approaches care with openness and a nonjudgmental stance, inviting clients to share thoughts and feelings in a space where exploration is encouraged rather than criticized. Dianna encourages courageous steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life and partners with clients to set practical goals and build coping skills that fit each person’s circumstances.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empowerment - helping people identify patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of connecting with themselves and others. Whether addressing addiction, repairing relationships, or recovering from trauma, Dianna aims to support each person through the changes they want to make and the next steps in their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Dianna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her work, tailoring each approach to the needs of the person or family she is working with. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop in close relationships and helps clients build more secure connections and repair relational wounds, which can be especially helpful for couples, families, and those with attachment concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, supporting partners and family members in deepening emotional understanding and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dianna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that therapy feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access care from home, and maintain continuity when travel or scheduling conflicts arise, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
