About Dianna

Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with thirteen years of experience in counseling. She first became drawn to psychology in high school and later completed her degree at Sam Houston State University. Dianna has spent most of her career in community mental health and also provides court-ordered treatment groups and part-time individual therapy.

Dianna focuses on helping people heal from past experiences and grow toward greater self-reliance.

Background and approach

She guides clients through building practical coping skills and increasing self-awareness. Her work includes support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Her approach centers on working alongside each person to set realistic goals.

That might mean strengthening emotional skills, creating a toolbox of coping strategies, or talking through life transitions. She uses straightforward, goal-minded conversations and practical exercises in sessions. Dianna also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career stress.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and can address overlapping issues such as chronic illness, codependency, and dissociation. Her background includes experience with LGBT issues and relationship difficulties. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on what needs to change now and how to do it.

Dianna aims to help people forgive themselves and others where that is part of the work, and to leave therapy with tools they can use day to day.

How Dianna’s approaches fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at each person’s pace. It focuses on understanding your experience and building goals that matter to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for intense moods and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dianna will talk with you about your goals and preferences and help pick methods that fit your needs. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the tools you practice between meetings.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to try skills in real life between sessions and to bring specific problems into conversation without rearranging a whole day.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
