About Diann
Diann Toney is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She supports adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, stress, addictions, grief, and challenges tied to career and life transitions.
She works with people on practical skills. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning tools to manage strong feelings, and building clearer patterns in relationships. Diann uses a mix of well-established methods rather than a single recipe for everyone.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques offer short practices to calm reactivity and improve focus.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding momentum for change. The Gottman Method is brought in for clients wanting to address relationship patterns and communication. These methods are applied in straightforward ways so clients can use them between sessions.
Diann has experience addressing issues including caregiver stress, abandonment concerns, family of origin problems, immigration-related stress, and isolation. She helps people process guilt, shame, and the effects of separation or domestic violence. Her work aims to give clear strategies for handling anger and resentment as they come up in daily life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Diann uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's concerns and goals at the center of each session. That approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters most, and helping clients set their own priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress. CBT provides concrete techniques for changing responses to anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach short, practical exercises that reduce reactivity and improve attention.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Diann discusses goals and preferences with each client and selects methods that fit their situation. She adapts strategies over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel, or use brief check-ins between in-person visits. Ask about session length and any technical requirements when you schedule to make sure it fits your routine.
