About Dianna
Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She moved into counseling after an early interest in psychology and has worked largely in community mental health since becoming licensed in 2013. Dianna also provides court-ordered treatment groups and part-time individual therapy. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, codependency, addictions, grief, and a range of other concerns listed in her profile.
Dianna emphasizes working through past experiences while also building practical coping skills. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and creating a toolbox of strategies people can use day to day. She describes helping clients grow self-reliance and learn to forgive themselves and others as part of that process.
Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens to how a person describes their life, then suggests concrete skills and perspectives that fit the person’s goals. Treatment may include talking through past hurts and practicing new ways to respond in stressful moments.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships may find sessions focus on boundary work and building confidence. The work can also address attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD-related challenges, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, and other overlapping problems.
Dianna speaks English and sees clients in Texas. Practical next steps are to use the online matching tool, answer a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and options.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dianna uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core parts of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills people can use to manage anxiety, low mood, or codependent actions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are practical tools for handling intense feelings and reducing reactive behavior in relationships. Together these approaches help with trauma recovery, boundary setting, coping skills, and day-to-day stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join without traveling. Ask about the available session options when scheduling to make sure they match practical needs and rhythms of daily life.
