About Diane
Diane Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
She works from a respectful and sensitive stance. Diane tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation. She aims to create a calm space where someone can name what feels difficult and try small, practical steps forward.
Diane uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's experience central during sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy and Existential Therapy also shape her way of working, helping people look at patterns in relationships and find meaning in life transitions. She adapts these approaches to the concerns a person brings.
Her practice addresses a wide range of related issues, including abandonment, codependency, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and workplace stress. Diane also supports people dealing with midlife change, aging and geriatric questions, and gender-specific concerns for men and women.
Conversations are practical and plainspoken. Diane focuses on what someone can try outside of sessions to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She encourages steady progress and adjusts the plan as needs change.
How Diane’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, checks in about goals, and helps people name what matters most. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current behavior. It helps people recognize recurring relationship dynamics and try different ways of relating. This can be useful for trust issues, codependency, and post-traumatic stress.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they review what is working and adjust the approach over time.
