About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are aimed at practical problem solving and clearer communication.

She works with stress, trauma recovery, and social anxiety using methods that help people notice patterns and try different responses. Diane pays attention to relationship dynamics and communication barriers so clients can express needs more directly. She also addresses issues like grief, addictions, and changes tied to career or caregiving roles.

Diane uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and set small behavioral experiments. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when that is appropriate.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions emphasize practical tools and real-world steps clients can use between meetings. She also offers coaching elements for people who want clearer goals around career, parenting, or major life changes.

Diane notes special interest in topics such as blended family issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns. She works with people across a wide range of emotional struggles, including body image, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present behavior and feelings. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people notice patterns in trust, closeness, and conflict and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and goals. In an online setting this means conversations that prioritize what matters most to the client and guide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Remotely, CBT can include short homework tasks, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to practice between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is tracked and challenges shift. Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or shorten a quick check-in. They also allow using written exercises and screen-shared worksheets during a meeting to support behavioral and attachment-focused work.
