About Dianna
Dianna Hansen is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. She practices in California and brings a hands-on, body-aware perspective to therapy. Dianna frames counseling as a practical support for people living with everyday stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.
Her background includes work in substance abuse settings and with people who have experienced complex dissociation. She has also worked with military-connected clients, which shaped her interest in trauma recovery. Dianna blends talk therapy with movement and breath work drawn from her years as a body worker and yoga practitioner.
In sessions she focuses on making sense of what happened and learning ways to respond that feel safer and more manageable. She names feelings and bodily reactions, then practices steps that can reduce panic and overwhelm. She also helps people reflect on guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.
Dianna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside somatic tools and music to support processing hard experiences. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where a therapist acts as a steady guide rather than an authority. Her style aims to be direct, practical, and grounded in everyday routines.
People who prefer a therapist who pays attention to both body and story often find this approach helpful. She works in English and practices as an LMFT in California. If you want to explore ways to manage anxiety or panic, she asks clients to identify goals so sessions stay focused and useful.
How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together
Dianna often combines structured clinical methods with somatic practices. Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT focuses on building concrete skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It is useful when anxiety and panic feel overwhelming and you need step-by-step tools. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - EMDR helps people process distressing memories by guiding attention while revisiting painful experiences, which can reduce the intensity of those memories over time.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Dianna works with each person to decide which techniques match their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels effective and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so sessions remain practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use techniques learned in session in real-life settings soon after discussing them. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule to find an option that fits your routine and comfort.
