About Diandra
Diandra Ortiz is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Diandra sees people who are working through mood disorders, relationship struggles, grief, and difficulties with self-esteem and identity.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she listens for emotional patterns and helps clients name feelings that are hard to describe. That often leads to clearer steps for coping and communication.
Diandra works with issues like codependency, communication problems, control issues, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography. She also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, eating and sleep problems, and panic symptoms. Her practice addresses life changes including immigration issues, career shifts, and the transition to young adulthood.
She provides care in both English and Spanish and includes cultural context in her work. The focus is on practical tools and emotional understanding rather than labels. Diandra aims to help clients build skills for emotional regulation, improve relationships with themselves and others, and manage everyday stressors.

How EFT, ACT, and CBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and exploring core emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and personal life. It helps people name feelings, connect them to behavior, and try new ways of responding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarify personal values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix of these fits best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses.
