Dianne Arnett | Marriage & Family Therapist

You've been grasping at change, but it always seems to feel out of reach.

Maybe you’re feeling disconnected or misunderstood by your loved ones, keep falling into the same unhealthy relationship patterns, or trying to keep your head above water while navigating big transitions.


Or maybe nothing is inherently wrong. You simply know you want more from your life, your relationships, and yourself, and you’re not quite sure what that looks like yet. 

You don't need to find all the answers on your own. You just need a little guidance.

Therapy gives you an opportunity to put down the frustrations that have been weighing you down. An honest space where you can find comfort, understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and identify what it will take to move forward. 

Let's take the pressure off of "figuring out what's wrong with you".

Our sessions are a place to reflect, explore, understand, challenge assumptions, brainstorm, and develop a plan. 


The real work happens beyond the therapy room, out in real life. It’s the conversation with your spouse. The decision you make differently. The boundary you finally practice. The coping mechanisms you try when an old trigger appears. 

Welcome, I'm Dianne Arnett-

Marriage & Family Therapist in Austin, TX.

Also known as the founder of Talking Points Psychotherapy, published author, perpetual student, mother, hopeless romantic, and eternal optimist.


I’ve spent my life fascinated by people—their stories, relationships, struggles, strengths, and extraordinary capacity for change. 


My path to becoming a therapist has spanned social work, education, years of working with couples and families, volunteering, and my own experiences navigating significant medical challenges. Each chapter has deepened my understanding of the complicated, beautiful, and sometimes messy ways we all move through life together. 


Now, I bring that understanding into my work with individuals, couples, and families. With advanced training in premarital counseling, Gottman-informed couples work, divorce counseling, trauma therapy, Parent Coordinator Counseling, Co-Parenting Therapy, and the New Ways for Families protocol, I offer a broad, holistic therapeutic approach as we work towards growth together.


My work with my clients is rooted in collaboration. I learn from the people who trust me with their stories, and I feel honored to walk alongside them as they create lives and relationships that feel more aligned with who they want to be.

Therapy is where you learn the blueprint for the growth you want.

Instead, let’s focus on learning where you’re stuck and how to move forward.


I’ll help you identify the patterns, beliefs, experiences, and relationship dynamics that may be getting in the way of the life you want. From there, we’ll build the strategies you can practice beyond the office.

What I bring to every session:

No matter where you’re at in life, know that I’m here to accept you exactly as you are and support you in becoming who you want to be. 


My role as a therapist isn’t to judge your choices. It’s to help you understand them through honest conversations. Sometimes that means asking a difficult question, experimenting with a new approach to problems, or weaving lightness and humor to make a conversation feel less heavy. Often, it’s educating you about how your brain responds to your experiences, and how to use that knowledge to influence your decisions. 


And always, it’s to celebrate your strengths and how they can carry you through to the growth you’re seeking.
