About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, ADHD, and concerns common in LGBT communities. Dianna uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people make clearer decisions and act on them.
Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions often include skill-building from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices like guided breathing. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way day to day and on concrete steps to try between meetings.
Dianna also brings experience from sport and exercise psychology and mental performance work. That background is used when clients want help with performance under pressure, managing competitive stress, or translating practice routines into real-world settings.
She pays attention to patterns that show up in relationships, including attachment concerns, codependency, communication and commitment issues. Therapy looks at those patterns, how they formed, and how someone might try different choices now.
Practical tools often come alongside reflective conversation. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques, short exercises to practice, and collaborative planning about next steps. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details using the online matching and scheduling process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person’s priorities and values, with the therapist reflecting what matters most and helping shape goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Dianna will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. She checks in over time and adjusts techniques based on what helps and what feels workable for the client. Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. This helps make sure session length and structure fit with work, family, or training schedules without assuming a particular delivery method.
