About Diana

Diana Perez-Curry is a licensed clinical social worker who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people navigate midlife transitions, manage anxiety and depression, and address relationship and parenting struggles. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at making change feel doable for everyday life.

She uses practical talk and skill-building to help people handle stress, anger, and low self-esteem. Diana draws on therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn new ways to respond. She also uses client-centered methods to make space for each person's values and goals.

Diana's background includes a Master in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and eight years as a licensed clinical social worker. She has worked in social work settings with people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and other complex life challenges. That experience informs how she supports people coping with past hurt and ongoing stress.

Sessions often focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into daily routines. Diana helps people build coping tools for mood swings, eating concerns, and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment, and blended family issues.

She works with English and Spanish speakers and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Diana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small actions that match those values. It is useful for coping with life changes, midlife questions, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. It often includes practical exercises to use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy communication, which can help with mood instability, anger, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools that match the person’s needs and daily life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work often allows shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, and easier continuity when life gets busy, which can help people maintain steady progress.
