About Dianna
Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 14 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her work often includes support around identity issues such as LGBT matters and gender dysphoria.
She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people under pressure. She takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions are built around clear goals and steps people can take between meetings.
Background and approach
Dianna blends client-centered listening with skill-building strategies so clients can try new ways of coping and see what works. She often uses mindfulness exercises and behavior-based tools in session. Her background includes sport and exercise psychology, which informs how she supports people working on performance, routine, or focus.
That experience shapes her interest in motivation, goal setting, and managing performance anxiety. It also influences how she helps people bring structure to daily life. Dianna draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Motivational interviewing is part of her style when people feel stuck or unsure about change. These approaches are used flexibly to fit each person's needs. People who prefer a pragmatic, down-to-earth therapist often connect with her style.
She helps clients tackle problems like grief, career shifts, family conflict, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions are conversational and focused on real steps a person can take soon after each meeting.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Dianna often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where people set their own goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a place to talk through identity, relationship, or life-direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and practical problem solving.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try tools in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist plan what skills to practice between sessions and review progress together so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, prompts, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options let people choose what fits their routine and how they prefer to communicate.
