About Dianna
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 14 years of experience, Dianna Hansen helps people managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. She also focuses on guilt and shame, life purpose, panic attacks, and self-love. Dianna combines talk-based work with body-centered practices she has used in clinical settings over many years.
Dianna worked in settings that included substance use treatment and care for military and veteran clients. She has clinical experience with dissociative identity disorder and long-term trauma recovery. That history informs how she frames symptoms and supports people through ongoing stressors.
Her sessions often blend movement, breath, and music with therapy tasks. She brings experience as a bodyworker and a personal yoga practice into the room. That means some sessions may include grounding techniques and attention to bodily experience alongside verbal processing.
Dianna lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as part of her approach. She integrates dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing with embodied practices like yoga. In practice this looks like skill teaching, rhythm- or breath-based exercises, and focused trauma processing when appropriate.
People who want both verbal strategies and body-focused tools may find her style useful. Sessions are presented as a collaborative effort to make sense of hard experiences and reduce distress. The site notes she works in English and is based in California.

How therapeutic techniques translate to remote work
Dianna names dialectical behavior therapy elements and EMDR among her core methods, and she pairs those with body-centered practices. DBT elements focus on skills such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful awareness. Those skills are taught and practiced verbally and with short in-session exercises to use in daily life.EMDR is offered as a trauma-processing method that involves bilateral stimulation paired with focused recall of distressing memories. In a session it is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories while supporting the person to reframe how they remember those events.
Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to test what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. That approach helps clarify whether more skills training, embodied practice, or trauma processing is needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to practice skills between meetings. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions that rely less on video when that suits someone’s schedule or bandwidth. Licensed professionals often use these flexible arrangements to help therapy connect with everyday life.
