About Diana
Diana Vines is a California psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, life changes, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career questions. Diana brings ten years of clinical experience to her work and meets people in English and French.
Her style is warm, supportive, and interactive. She places a lot of weight on the therapist-client relationship and treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions avoid stigmatizing labels and focus on the person in front of her rather than a diagnosis.
Diana draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to help people build practical skills and reach clearer goals. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to help clients notice what matters most to them. Her background includes attention to how early life experiences shape current patterns.
When meeting someone new, she tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. That means working at a pace that feels manageable and choosing tools that fit everyday life. She also addresses issues that come up around aging, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Diana aims to make that step easier. She supports people who want change and helps them build steps toward a more satisfying life.
Approaches to online therapy that focus on values and skills
Diana often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes committed action over symptom control.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT helps with worry, sleep problems, anger, and building practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy informs her tone in sessions, keeping the conversation respectful and focused on the person’s experience rather than labels.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to your comfort.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time to appointments. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for use between sessions to fit daily routines.
