About Dianna
Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She began exploring psychology as a teen and followed that interest into counseling after graduating from Sam Houston State University. Dianna has spent much of her career in community mental health and also provides court-ordered treatment groups and part-time individual therapy.
She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Family of origin patterns, attachment questions, and abandonment concerns are among the topics she commonly addresses. She also supports people coping with life changes, parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress.
In sessions she aims to help people learn from past experiences while building practical skills for today. That can mean strengthening emotional regulation, creating a coping-skill toolbox, or increasing insight into how early relationships still affect current choices. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a lecture.
Dianna uses a mix of approaches when working with clients. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are goals.
Her background in community mental health means she is familiar with a variety of life stressors and systems. People who want practical tools and clearer understanding of their family patterns may find her style direct and skill-focused. Sessions are conducted in English in Texas, and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and the therapist following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach let conversations stay focused on what matters now, such as family patterns or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. CBT can be used in remote sessions to review thought records, set behavioral experiments, and practice new skills between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills in a clear, step-by-step way that fits well into video or phone sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, insight-focused conversation, or a mix of methods as sessions proceed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shortening commute time, and keeping check-ins brief when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals delivering online care can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-focused work that fits into everyday life.
