About Diandra
Diandra Ortiz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She offers practical, down-to-earth therapy focused on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, addiction, and parenting concerns. Diandra speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people juggling busy lives.
Her sessions center on clear goals and simple tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, and she brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills.
Background and approach
Diandra has five years of clinical experience and keeps language direct in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on problem-solving, building coping routines, improving communication, and reducing things that get in the way of daily functioning. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort where practical steps matter.
Parents often look to her for help with stress, sleep problems, and the overwhelm that comes with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, mood shifts, and relationship strain. Immigration-related stress and identity concerns are included among her areas of attention.
People can expect an affirming atmosphere that respects cultural background and personal values. The work is straightforward: identify what's not working, try realistic strategies, and adjust as needed. Diandra emphasizes building long-term skills rather than quick fixes.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that align with their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to shift mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and panic symptoms.
Diandra sees finding the right approach as a team task. She works with clients to match methods to their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as people try techniques and report back. This collaborative stance helps fine-tune what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy part of a busy schedule.
