About Diana
Diana Vines is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 17702) with ten years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, sleep disruption, self-esteem, career worries, and coping with life changes.
She combines approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work with attention to how early life experiences shape behavior. That mix aims to help people notice patterns, try practical strategies, and address the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and frustration.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Diana favors clear, down-to-earth discussion over jargon. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests exercises to practice outside sessions so progress can be tracked between meetings.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work and a California psychologist credential, and she draws on multiple methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic ideas. She speaks English and French.
People who come for help with anger often also bring stress or relationship problems. Diana aims to help clients notice what sets off their reactions, build practical coping tools, and try new responses in everyday situations. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Diana uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that align with what matters most. It can help when anger is driven by rigid rules or avoidance. CBT breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful responses.Finding the right approach is part of treatment. She will work with each person to identify which methods feel most useful, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to everyday problems like snapping at a partner or feeling overwhelmed at work.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by offering a shorter check-in between appointments, saving commuting time, or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework so they can be practiced in the settings where anger tends to arise.
