About Diana

Diana Perez-Curry offers practical support for parents and families facing hard moments. She speaks English and Spanish. Diana aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, relationship strains, mood changes, or stress.

Diana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - based in Florida. She has eight years listed as a therapist and a long history in social work settings. Her background includes work with people impacted by trauma, domestic violence, and neglect, and she has supported those coping with depression and anxiety.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on clear tools and steady conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel intense and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small steps toward it.

Diana works in both English and Spanish, and she has experience with family issues such as blended families, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and caregiving stress. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, anger, intimacy challenges, and coping with life changes. Her approach is collaborative and direct.

Parents get concrete strategies for behavior, communication, and managing stress. Sessions aim to be practical so families can try changes between meetings and notice what helps.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for parents coping with guilt, avoidance, or hard decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause stress or low mood. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or family to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing tools from different approaches to match the problem at hand and the family's pace.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible care that fits busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to meet at convenient times, manage shorter check-ins, or follow up with messages between sessions. For many parents, that variety makes it simpler to try new strategies and keep therapy moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
