About Diana

Diana Chambers is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and mood instability. Diana aims to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She keeps sessions straightforward and welcoming so conversations can begin without feeling pressured. Her approach emphasizes openness and trust. Diana creates space for clients to talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and coping so practical steps can be explored together. Diana uses body-centered techniques from somatic therapy when helpful. These methods connect physical sensations to emotions and can be useful for stress, trauma responses, and anxiety.

She blends this with grounded conversation to help people feel more present in daily life. Over three decades of work have exposed her to a wide range of concerns. In addition to core areas like depression and addictions, she has addressed issues such as parenting, intimacy-related struggles, and communication problems.

That broad background informs her steady, experience-based style. Diana works with people throughout California and is available for sessions in English. She welcomes questions about how her approach might fit a person’s goals.

For many, the first small step toward help makes a noticeable difference.

How somatic work and online care come together

Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between the body and emotions. It uses awareness of breath, posture, and physical sensations to help people notice and shift stress, anxiety, trauma responses, and mood states. This approach is often paired with talking so physical and emotional shifts reinforce each other.

In practice she combines somatic techniques with clear, conversational therapy. Finding the right way of working is collaborative; she will talk through options with each person and adjust methods based on needs and goals. Together the therapist and client pick techniques that feel doable and helpful.

Online therapy with Diana uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and let people continue care from different locations. The range of formats also allows a mix of real-time conversation and shorter check-ins to match what someone needs day to day.

Somatic Therapy

Works with what the body is doing - tension, breath, restlessness - as much as with what you say about it. Guided attention to physical sensation can be done from your own space.
