About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD. Dianna also supports people facing grief, trauma, career shifts, and struggles related to gender and identity.
She uses several practical therapy styles to help people notice patterns and make changes. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness exercises are used for emotion regulation and staying present.
Dianna draws on a mental performance background when relevant, applying sport and performance psychology ideas to focus, routine, and goal setting. That can be useful for people balancing work, sports, or other high-pressure roles. She also addresses issues tied to family of origin, codependency, attachment, and communication problems.
In sessions she encourages clear, actionable steps. Conversations aim to identify what’s getting in the way and what small changes could help day to day. Practical skills such as grounding, thought restructuring, and behavioral experiments are commonly taught.
People who prefer a direct, skills-focused approach may find her work style helpful. She offers support for LGBT concerns including gender dysphoria and the emotional effects of living with stigma. Language of service is English and practice is based in Florida.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what is said and helps people clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools that help with intense feelings and impulsive reactions. Choosing which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way clients and therapist can agree on strategies that fit the person’s life and priorities. Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow short check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove travel time for appointments. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness practices, and homework between meetings to practice skills in everyday situations.CAreas of focus
