Dianna Roland-Sumlin

Dianna Roland-Sumlin is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. Dianna works with adults across a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and issues related to identity and relationships.

She blends practical strategies with reflective conversation. Clients can expect help breaking big problems into manageable steps. Dianna uses plain language and focused exercises rather than jargon. Sessions aim to increase insight and create a clear plan for change.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix is used to target symptoms like impulsivity, emotional reactivity, and low self-esteem. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

Dianna brings additional training in sport and exercise psychology and offers mental performance consulting for athletes and teams. That work centers on focus, routines, and managing performance pressure both on and off the field.

People come to her for help with grief, trauma, family-of-origin concerns, ADHD challenges, and career transitions. She emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and skills you can use between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects new clients with her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist mirrors concerns and helps people identify their own goals, which can be useful for building trust and direction in online sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks thoughts and behaviors into parts you can change. Online CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and homework to test small shifts in thinking and behavior between visits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices are often paired with DBT to help notice stress and calm reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which mix of strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the listing does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing for shorter check-ins, fewer travel barriers, or timing that matches work and family schedules. These practical conveniences help people try techniques consistently and apply skills in day-to-day situations.
