About Diana
Diana Santiago-Romero is a licensed therapist in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through relationship and family concerns.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward. She encourages small, doable changes and respects each person's strengths.
Her sessions start with listening to the whole story and identifying immediate priorities. Diana helps clients set clear goals and creates simple strategies people can use between sessions.
She focuses on skills that ease day-to-day struggles like sleep, anger, and overwhelming stress. Over two decades she has supported people facing grief, trauma, and transitions.
She also offers help around intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career stress. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, hearing impairment, HIV/AIDS concerns, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.
Diana works with people dealing with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, as well as attention challenges like ADHD. She also supports those navigating LGBT issues and people coping with major life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Diana views clients as partners in the work and aims to find practical approaches that match each person's life and goals.
Approaches and how online therapy works
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on teaching skills and changing patterns that cause distress. One common approach helps people learn practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and routine changes to improve sleep and daily functioning. This approach is useful for worry, sleeplessness, and managing overwhelming moments.Another approach concentrates on addiction and behavior change by breaking problems into small steps and building new habits. It emphasizes clear goal-setting, problem-solving, and relapse prevention strategies that people can practice between sessions. That method often helps when someone wants steady progress and measurable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaboration helps match techniques to the person’s life and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging works for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
