About Diana

Diana Perez-Curry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who welcomes clients seeking support for concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and parenting difficulties.

Background and approach

She communicates fluently in English and Spanish, and her practice is based in Florida while accepting international clients. Diana emphasizes practical tools and compassionate listening to help clients manage stress, improve self-esteem, and navigate life transitions.

Her clinical style blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques.

With eight years of licensure experience and a background in social work, she draws on work with diverse populations affected by domestic violence, trauma, and complex family dynamics to tailor care to each person’s needs. Diana uses a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach to set achievable goals and build coping skills.

Clients find her approach practical and empathetic, focusing on skills for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and clearer priorities. She works with individuals facing eating and intimacy-related concerns, attachment and adoption issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and other life stressors, aiming to create a steady path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by teaching practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for mood and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people dealing with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful for symptoms, values, and daily life demands.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and access bilingual support in English or Spanish, while allowing the therapist to apply CBT, ACT, DBT, and other methods in ways that fit each client’s routine and preferences.
