About Diann
Diann Toney is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem concerns, and also supports those coping with grief, addiction, stress and major life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. Diann listens to what is most pressing, then helps clients identify small, manageable changes. Sessions often include learning ways to manage overwhelming feelings and trying different coping skills between meetings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down distressing moments and build attention to the present. Motivational Interviewing can be part of work around addiction or when someone is weighing change.
Diann also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns come up in individual sessions. She pays attention to how family history and phases of life affect current struggles, including caregiver stress, aging concerns, and separation or divorce issues. Practical problem solving is combined with time to talk through painful memories when trauma or abuse is involved.
People who work with her can expect clear explanations of methods, simple homework when helpful, and chances to rehearse new responses in session. She offers therapy in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship; online sessions use that same attention to help people name what feels most urgent and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thought patterns and testing small behavior changes, which can work well through guided conversations and practical homework assigned between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention practices and grounding techniques that are easy to practice during and after video or phone meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That choice can shift over time as new needs and progress are reviewed collaboratively.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week - sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Some formats make it easier to do a shorter check-in, or to avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. The practical aim is to make therapy possible within everyday life while using approaches that address anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns and behavior change.
