About Diana
Diana Santiago-Romero is a licensed marriage and family therapist with two decades of experience in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the next small step when life feels overwhelming.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a respectful, collaborative stance to each session.
Background and approach
Diana listens for strengths and patterns, then works with clients to build manageable changes. Sessions focus on real problems and clear, usable tools rather than jargon. Over 20 years Diana has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and challenges related to sleep, eating, and career transitions.
She also has experience with LGBTQ issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and needs specific to first responders and people facing end-of-life concerns. Diana offers culturally sensitive care for people living with HIV/AIDS, those who are hearing impaired, and people exploring gender dysphoria or non-monogamous relationships. Her work aims to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping skills.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules. Diana encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and explore what a few sessions might do for their current situation.

Approaches that guide online care
Many of Diana's sessions focus on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that address current problems and build coping skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing stress, anger, anxiety, and cravings; this gives people step-by-step methods to try between sessions. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care which prioritizes safety and pacing while helping people process difficult experiences and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana works with clients to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear. Clients and therapist set small, measurable goals and review what is working at regular points.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools during work on relationships or emotion regulation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or help practicing new skills between longer sessions.
