About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 14 years of practice. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, and ADHD. Sessions address practical problems and decision-making rather than abstract theory.
She combines straightforward talk with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness. Clients can expect help noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing simple coping skills between sessions. Dianna also uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s priorities.
Her background includes a second master’s in Sport and Exercise Psychology and work as a Mental Performance Consultant. That training informs her work with people who want performance support alongside mental health care. She offers approaches that fit everyday life and activity schedules.
In sessions Dianna often introduces exercises from dialectical behavior therapy when people need emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. She uses brief guided mindfulness practices to help with focus and stress reduction.
Her practical style emphasizes clear goals and an action plan. People leave with written steps to try between sessions and ways to measure progress. The focus is on changing patterns that cause problems now, and on building skills to manage recurring difficulties.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dianna uses cognitive behavioral strategies that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT-style work online can include homework, thought records, and behavior experiments people try between sessions.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize the client's priorities and goals. Those sessions often involve listening, reflecting, and helping the client choose practical next steps based on their own values.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when people need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught in short exercises and practiced during or after sessions to improve daily functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That may mean focusing on thought and behavior experiments at first, or teaching DBT skills when emotions are intense.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people try practices between meetings. The therapist and client will agree on a practical plan for session length and frequency that fits everyday life.
