About Dianna
Dianna Wheeler brings a steady, practical approach to counseling. She became interested in psychology as a teen and has worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2013. Her path includes community mental health work and part-time work leading court-ordered groups and individual sessions.
Dianna focuses on helping people move forward from hard experiences and build everyday coping skills. Clients can expect straightforward guidance aimed at growth and self-reliance. She values healing from past experiences while also teaching tools for managing stress and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on increasing awareness, building a toolbox of coping strategies, and practicing new ways of handling difficult situations. Dianna uses practical techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also helps with parenting stress, career strain, grief, and issues linked to ADHD and bipolar mood challenges.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and working with kink-aware clients when relevant. Her style blends client-centered care with cognitive and skills-based methods. She aims to listen closely, reflect what she hears, and work with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
Many clients leave with concrete steps they can use between sessions. Dianna’s background in community mental health shapes a flexible, realistic outlook. She encourages self-forgiveness and practical progress, helping people grow stronger emotionally while learning tools to manage daily life.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears, and works toward the goals the person names. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical tools for regulating intense emotions, handling crisis moments, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options when you book. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people meet from a quieter spot when they have one. Phone sessions can be useful for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, while video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues during work on emotions and skills. Ask about current session types before scheduling so you can pick what fits your routine.
