BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Dianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on clear skills and short experiments a person can try between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT in practice means learning short, repeatable techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dianna partners with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to work in remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings without changing their routine.
