About Dianna

Dianna Zuniga is a licensed clinical social worker with over 21 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. She practices in California and brings a warm, empathic style that emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building.

Background and approach

Dianna aims to meet clients where they are while offering respectful, nonjudgmental support to foster insight and personal growth. Her background includes work in mental health clinics, substance abuse treatment, and both public and personal school settings, which informs a flexible approach to varied life circumstances.

She uses evidence-based methods to help clients develop coping strategies and healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. Dianna’s focus is on empowering clients with tools they can apply outside of sessions so they can better manage life transitions, improve relationships, and pursue long-term well-being.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Dianna holds LISW and LCSW credentials and brings decades of clinical practice to each therapeutic relationship. Prospective clients who value practical techniques, emotional validation, and a collaborative plan for change may find her approach particularly helpful.

Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit your life

Dianna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as part of her clinical toolkit. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and developing coping strategies for trauma-related reactions.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when needed to strengthen emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - Dianna works with each client to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to practice skills between sessions in ways that fit their daily routines.
