About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Diane offers steady, practical support for someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She focuses on clear, usable steps in sessions. Diane addresses stress management, communication problems, social anxiety, and trauma recovery. She also works with concerns around grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and career strain.

Diane combines several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns. She uses client-centered listening to keep the work focused on the person's goals and experience.

When trauma is present she may include EMDR to help process painful memories. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Diane also uses Imago relationship work for people wanting to improve how they connect with partners.

Her practice pays attention to practical life demands and caregiving stress. Diane names specific areas she often addresses, including ADHD, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver strain, body image, and intimacy-related concerns. She aims to help people build resilience and find more ease in daily life.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone in sessions and an emphasis on real-world strategies. Diane welcomes people who want steady guidance while they work through change and healing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns in close relationships and early bonds. It helps people understand why certain relationship reactions repeat and supports building new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience; the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's priorities to shape the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy day because sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online sessions can also make it easier to do shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals tailor techniques so that attachment, client-centered, and CBT methods translate into useful steps you can use between sessions.
