About Diana
Diana Vines is a California psychologist with ten years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing big life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and career concerns. Diana speaks English and French and works with additional issues such as aging and caregiver stress.
Her style is warm and interactive. She values a respectful, sensitive relationship and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are framed around what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Diana blends several approaches to suit the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a client’s pace and priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused work to set practical steps. She also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when those help make sense of a concern.
In sessions she listens first, then helps shape a plan with clear, doable steps. Conversations focus on daily habits, coping strategies, and small changes that add up. The aim is to help people feel more capable and in control of the next steps in life.
To begin, a person follows the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on the therapist’s availability. Diana uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. Online sessions let the therapist respond to what the client brings and move at their pace, whether the focus is parenting stress or grief.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can be used to practice small exercises and to set concrete steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests practical changes. In remote sessions, CBT often includes homework and short check-ins to try new coping skills in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods feel most useful for the person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use the time to practice skills, set small goals, and track progress between sessions.
