About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. Diane also notes experience with trauma recovery and stress management in her practice.

She approaches sessions using several methods, including attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral tools. EMDR and Imago relationship ideas are part of her toolkit when appropriate. Sessions focus on practical skills like communication, coping strategies, and ways to manage mood and stress.

Diane describes support for people facing complex situations such as grief, addiction concerns, caregiving strain, and career stress. She also lists attention to issues like body image, intimacy difficulties, ADHD, and the effects of family of origin patterns. The work is oriented toward helping clients recognize how past relationships influence current ones.

Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care matters, abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and aging issues. She also notes work with people involved in kink and alternative sexual cultures, and with those navigating neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are conducted in English and Diane accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription payment model. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present relationships. It helps people notice repeating roles and improve how they connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s concerns without imposing solutions. It is useful for building self-understanding and deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people work with a Florida-licensed LMFT from other locations, subject to any cross-border arrangements.
