About Diana
CA Psychologist Diana Vines, CA Psychologist 17702, has practiced for 10 years in California. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career challenges. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Diana speaks English and French.
Diana uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and doability of small behavioral changes. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Diana pays attention to early life experiences and psychodynamic themes when those help make sense of current patterns.
Her style is conversational and interactive. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, trying small experiments between meetings, and practicing breathing or awareness exercises when useful. She aims to keep language straightforward and avoid labels that feel stigmatizing.
Diana treats parenting and relationship concerns by focusing on clear communication, practical problem solving, and manageable behavior changes. For caregiver and aging-related stress she works on setting priorities and reducing overwhelm. In grief and major life changes she helps people find ways to reorganize daily life and cope with shifting roles.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, while committing to actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by clarifying what matters and encouraging small steps toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable pieces. Sessions often include practicing new skills, testing thoughts, and setting short activities to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises can be brief and repeated between sessions to support emotion regulation and stress management.
Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they will try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow using brief mindfulness or behavioral tasks between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions in practical, hands-on ways.
