About Dianna
Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years working in counseling. She began studying psychology as a teen and followed that interest into a counseling career after earning a degree from Sam Houston State University. She has spent much of her time in community mental health and also provides court-ordered treatment groups along with individual therapy part time.
She focuses on helping people recover from past hurt and learn to forgive themselves and others. Sessions aim to build self-reliance and practical skills. Dianna emphasizes tools people can use day to day to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting strains.
Her approach blends how people think, feel, and relate. She uses client-centered care to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and create new behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Clients often work on trauma recovery, coping with life changes, codependency, and managing attention or mood differences. Dianna also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues tied to attachment or abandonment. She includes motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and psychodynamic ideas to understand repeating patterns.
Sessions are practical and aimed at steady progress. Expect clear goals, skill-building, and reflective conversation that links past experiences to present choices. People who want straightforward guidance and hands-on tools often find this way of working helpful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping the work around each person's goals. It helps people feel heard and move at their own pace while deciding what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions and handling crisis moments in healthier ways.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports practicing skills in the contexts where problems occur, and lets people use worksheets, skill coaching, and focused talk therapy in the flow of everyday life.
