About Diana

Diana Perez-Curry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting. She also supports those facing issues with eating, anger, self-esteem, and life changes, including living with chronic illness or disability.

She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people gain clearer thinking and better emotional balance. Sessions tend to include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage mood and stress, and setting small steps toward more manageable daily routines. The work is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.

Diana earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. She has eight years of experience as an LCSW and many more years in social work roles that involved trauma, domestic violence, and complex family situations. That background informs how she responds to people who have a history of abuse or neglect.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, and client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas for building values-driven action and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools for relationship concerns.

People can expect straightforward sessions in Spanish or English. Diana works with issues related to parenting, attachment and adoption concerns, caregiver stress, ADHD, and other everyday struggles. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a session.

How Diana’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Online work can use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through structured exercises and homework that fit into daily life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. In an online setting this can look like brief exercises, values clarification, and small behavioral experiments people try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions and improving relationships. Online sessions may focus on teaching concrete skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness adapted to the individual's pace.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients take an active role in choosing what to try and in deciding next steps.

The practical benefits of doing therapy online include easier fit with weekly routines, fewer travel needs, and the ability to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Because specific session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep consistent work toward the changes someone wants.
