About Diana

Diana Santiago-Romero is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

She also works with clients coping with trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem challenges, career transitions, and ADHD. Her practice includes attention to LGBT issues and additional focus areas such as first responder issues, gender dysphoria, hearing impaired clients, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships.

She approaches therapy from a collaborative stance, holding that clients are the experts on their own lives and carry strengths that can be mobilized to meet challenges. Diana encourages people to recognize those strengths while exploring patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties and developing practical skills for change.

She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can set goals and try new strategies together. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate varied needs and schedules, and she tailors her work to each person’s situation while drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment planning.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Many therapists draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies and skills-focused interventions that help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice practical coping tools for anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. These methods emphasize concrete skill-building, behavior change, and problem-solving to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Another common approach involves relational and systemic perspectives that explore how relationships, family patterns, and social contexts influence emotions and behavior. This work can help clients understand recurring interaction patterns and develop new ways of relating that support recovery and growth.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within Florida. These options support ongoing communication and continuity of care while allowing clients and licensed professionals to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient.
