About Diane
Diane Cantwell is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anger, career challenges, and coping with life changes.
Diane draws on a background that includes work as a school counselor and a history as a competitive gymnast who rebuilt life after a serious injury. That experience shaped her interest in resilience and practical problem solving. She also developed Body Bingo, a Parents' Choice Gold Award initiative that encourages healthier family routines.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Diane pairs CBT ideas with mindfulness and practical strategies so clients can try new ways of responding to stress and frustration. She also uses hypnotherapy as part of her approach when appropriate.
The work is straightforward and action oriented. Diane helps people map out specific steps for managing anger, improving relationships, and handling life transitions. Expect short-term goals alongside longer-term coping skills.
She blends behavioral tools with attention to physical habits and life routines. That combination grew from both clinical practice and her own experience recovering from injury. Diane aims to help people build steady habits they can use beyond sessions.
Approaches used and what online work looks like
Diane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and hypnotherapy in her practice. CBT helps people identify negative thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce stress, worry, and anger. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people change habits, address self-esteem, and reduce anxiety.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Diane reviews a client’s goals, preferences, and situation and then recommends techniques to try. That collaborative process can mean starting with CBT skills, introducing mindfulness practice, or using hypnotherapy for specific habits and responses.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief guided exercises so they work in remote sessions and fit into everyday routines.
