About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and concerns related to gender and identity. Dianna also notes experience supporting people dealing with family conflict and parenting-related challenges.
She uses a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices are used to build emotion regulation and coping skills.
Dianna describes her work as collaborative. She helps people name patterns that cause pain, then tries interventions to change those patterns. Sessions can include skill practice, guided mindfulness exercises, and focused conversation about decisions and next steps.
Her background includes sport and exercise psychology at the master's level and work as a mental performance consultant. That experience informs how she supports people aiming to improve performance, manage pressure, or balance competing demands in work and life.
People who find this approach useful are often looking for concrete tools alongside reflective conversation. Dianna pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and codependency concerns, and struggles with shame or abandonment. She supports LGBT clients and people of color as part of her practice.
She sees clients from Florida and conducts sessions in English. If you want to proceed, confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with people now.
How sessions work
How Dianna blends approaches for online work
Dianna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and managing ADHD-related routines.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those techniques can be useful when someone struggles with strong emotions or impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dianna treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will help you pick techniques that match your goals and preferences. She may combine skills practice, mindful exercises, and focused problem-solving depending on what helps most.
