Dianna Privitt, LMFT

Dianna Privitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, anxiety, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with eating or sleeping concerns, parenting stress, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and major life changes. Dianna practices in California and offers straightforward, nonjudgmental care in sessions.

She keeps therapy practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on naming what matters to the client, identifying short-term steps, and building routines that fit daily life. Dianna aims to create a calm space where people can say difficult things and begin to try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), along with client-centered and existential perspectives. This mix helps with emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and finding personal meaning after loss or change. Methods are chosen together, based on what the person bringing concerns wants to work on.

Dianna holds a CA LMFT credential and has six years of clinical experience. She has worked with a range of concerns linked to family background, abandonment, caregiving strain, chronic health issues, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. She aims to support people across diverse identities, including LGBT clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what truly matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation or addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help with intimacy issues and persistent relationship stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses between people to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works best. It can also let people work from a quieter setting or choose an option that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and EFT to an online setting while focusing on practical skills and relationship patterns.
