About Dianna
Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She began studying psychology as a teen and moved into counseling after completing her degree at Sam Houston State University. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and other life stresses.
She 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 understand how past experiences affect current behavior. She also works with people looking to build better coping skills and increase emotional awareness.
In sessions she aims to guide people through specific goals while helping them gain self-reliance. That can mean learning tools for managing anger, practicing techniques for anxiety, or addressing patterns that interfere with relationships. She describes healing from past experiences and learning self-forgiveness as important parts of change.
Dianna uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and explore concerns, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work.
People who want practical skills and clearer self-understanding may find this approach useful. Sessions are framed around goals, skill-building, and developing insight so people can manage daily life and stressful situations more effectively.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dianna commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective so goals can be set together. This approach helps when people need a place to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people who feel easily overwhelmed by emotion.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. The approach can shift as needs change, and sessions focus on problem-solving, skill-building, and increasing insight together.
