About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. She focuses on guiding people through depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Diane aims to make therapy straightforward and human, helping people find clearer coping strategies and steadier emotional ground.

Her work covers a wide range of issues, including stress management, trauma recovery, grief, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses caregiver strain, addictions, ADHD, and concerns that come with aging and chronic illness. Diane uses practical conversations to help people sort priorities and make lasting changes.

Diane combines several well-known approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Attachment-Based work to look at how past connections shape current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s own goals.

Expect a calm, respectful tone in sessions and an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings. Diane often helps people develop concrete plans for sleep, eating, and daily routines when those areas are affected. Many clients work on improving communication, setting boundaries, or coping with grief and life transitions.

She accepts clients who speak English and is open to international clients as noted. Diane works from her Florida license as an LMFT and brings decades of hands-on experience to each appointment.

How Diane’s approaches fit into online work

Diane uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help people improve communication and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the sessions focused on the person's goals, using listening and reflection to guide the process.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Diane collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their concerns and goals. She adjusts pace and techniques as work progresses so treatment aligns with what the person wants to accomplish.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum between appointments and apply new skills to everyday life.
