About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida LMFT with 27 years of clinical work. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and major life changes. Diane also addresses stress, addictions, grief, and concerns that come with parenting and career shifts.

She uses practical conversation and structured techniques to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. Diane often focuses on communication skills, coping strategies for anxiety, and methods to address trauma recovery. She works with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD-related struggles.

Her work draws on attachment ideas and client-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Diane also integrates EMDR approaches and relationship-focused Imago work when those fit the client's goals.

Sessions cover specific problems like abandonment, blended family stress, body image, caregiving strain, and coping after illness. She also addresses less common concerns such as kink and alternative sexuality, antisocial and avoidant personality patterns, and autism-related needs when relevant to the individual's goals.

Diane describes her role as helping people find clearer ways to handle daily pressures and repair relationship patterns. People meet to talk through what is getting in the way, practice new skills, and plan manageable next steps. The emphasis is on steady progress and usable tools for life outside sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current connections. Online sessions use talk and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical experiments. In online sessions clients might use brief worksheets, thought logs, and behavior plans between meetings to track progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include mixing attachment work, CBT, or EMDR-style trauma techniques depending on what the person needs.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, or commuting schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins, camera-off conversations, or timing that works around classes and shifts, which helps therapy fit day-to-day life.
