How Dianna Uses Therapy Methods Online
Dianna draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and self esteem concerns. Trauma-focused therapy centers on understanding the impact of past harm and building safety and coping skills for trauma-related reactions.
She also uses mindfulness strategies to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity. These practices are brief and practical, aimed at helping you manage stress in daily life. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with you to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.
