About Diana Blank (She/Her)
Diana Blank, LCSW, helps children, adolescents, teens, and adults across California build stability, strengthen relationships, and improve emotional well-being through compassionate, evidence-based therapy at LifeStance Health. She offers individual, couples, and family therapy, supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma while creating personalized care plans that foster resilience and long-term growth. Her approach is collaborative and culturally responsive, helping clients feel understood while working toward meaningful, practical change. She has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families, including those navigating autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and adoption or foster care dynamics. Diana integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions into her work, while offering additional therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s needs. She is especially skilled in helping families improve communication, strengthen parenting strategies, and navigate complex life transitions. With decades of experience in community-based mental health settings, Diana brings depth and insight into her care. She also supports clients through high-conflict family situations, including separation, divorce, co-parenting, and blended family dynamics, creating a safe space for healing and collaboration. She can provide care in Spanish, supporting a broader range of individuals and families. Outside of her clinical work, Diana enjoys cooking, staying active through exercise and swimming, hiking in nature, practicing guided meditation, and engaging in crafts and artwork.
