About Dianna

Dianna Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked in counseling since 2013. She began studying psychology in high school and followed that interest to a counseling degree from Sam Houston State University.

Background and approach

Dianna has spent most of her career in community mental health and also provides court-ordered treatment groups and occasional individual therapy. She practices in Texas and brings 13 years of experience to her work.

Dianna's style is straightforward and practical. She focuses on helping people heal from past hurt while also building skills for daily life.

Sessions often include learning coping tools, strengthening emotional awareness, and working toward greater self-reliance. She emphasizes forgiveness of self and others as part of recovery.

Clients come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, and alternative sexuality topics.

Dianna aims to tailor the work to each person’s current goals. Her approach draws on several familiar methods.

Internal Family Systems helps people understand different inner parts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Client-centered techniques create a supportive space to talk things through. Dianna seeks to guide people toward practical change.

She helps build a toolbox of skills and increases awareness of patterns that get in the way. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Internal Family Systems helps people name and understand different inner parts that affect feelings and behavior. It can be useful for trauma, shame, and patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard while they make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can happen in early sessions and be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, let sessions take place during a work break, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also support steady practice of skills between sessions and make follow-up easier without long travel times.
