About Diana

Diana Perez-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and eating-related issues.

Diana uses several practical methods in session. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when emotions and attachment patterns are important to the problem. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques depending on what a person needs.

Sessions are conversational and focused on clear steps people can try between meetings. She helps people notice patterns, name difficult feelings, and rehearse new responses. For parents and caregivers she addresses stress, blended family concerns, and issues linked to adoption or foster care.

Diana has worked across social work settings with histories that include domestic violence, trauma, neglect, and related stressors. That background informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and what to do after intense events.

How Diana applies therapy online and what methods look like

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on mapping how feelings and attachment patterns drive relationship and personal problems. In session a person names emotions that are hard to see and practices new ways to respond to them, which can change repeating patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana collaborates with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense for their goals. She adjusts methods over time based on what is working and what the person prefers.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the therapist's biography does not list specific options on this page. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people meet from a quieter setting. Licensed professionals can use video, phone, or other supported formats to match practical needs and comfort, so check the available options when you schedule.
