About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns clients bring most often, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. Diane lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her approaches and uses practical strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Diane addresses stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, and concerns tied to aging and caregiving.

Her approach centers on clear goals and straightforward tools. Sessions often involve identifying repetitive thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and tracking what works. She uses elements of attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and she draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities.

Diane also lists EMDR and Imago Relationship Therapy among her methods when appropriate. That allows her to offer different ways to address trauma and relationship dynamics depending on the situation. She encourages practical skills for managing emotions and rebuilding healthier interaction patterns.

People who prefer a structured, skills-focused approach may find her style helpful. The practice accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set up a first session.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on noticing specific thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and everyday stress by breaking issues into manageable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships that repeat over time. It helps people recognize how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and communication, useful for intimacy issues and recurring conflict.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Diane will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The biography does not list particular session formats, so confirm available online options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on busy days. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the matching process to find the best fit.
