About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, anger, depression, relationship strain, and questions about gender and identity. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, grief, trauma, career pressure, and compassion fatigue.
Dianna blends several approaches to help people think through problems and make practical plans. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when they fit the client's goals.
Sessions are conversational and focused on action steps. Dianna helps clients break concerns into manageable pieces and try small changes between sessions. She offers guided mindfulness and meditation practices when appropriate and builds strategies for handling anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Her background includes additional study in sport and exercise psychology, which she applies when clients face performance pressure or competitive stress. That training informs practical strategies for focus, routine, and managing nerves before important events.
People who reach out can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented approach. Dianna works collaboratively to set goals, craft a plan, and adapt methods as needs change. To start, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dianna frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helping people manage anger and stress. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small changes in behavior to reduce reactive responses. DBT provides concrete skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication in tense moments.She also draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect back what matters most to each person. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - she will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client meet their aims.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a tight schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time on busy days. These practical benefits can help people build regular habits, practice skills between sessions, and apply coping strategies in everyday situations.
