About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and related concerns such as anger and addictions.

Diane focuses on practical changes clients can use day to day. She talks through communication problems, coping with life changes, and strategies for managing strong emotions. Sessions include straightforward tools for sleep, eating, and work-related stress as needed.

Her background includes long-term work with people recovering from trauma and abuse. Diane uses methods that help process painful memories and reduce their hold on current life. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, and the effects of chronic illness.

Diane draws on relationship-focused work to address intimacy, attachment, and commitment issues. She helps people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of speaking and relating. That often includes practical exercises to improve listening and reduce escalation in conflict.

She combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with client-centered listening and attachment-based ideas to help clients set realistic goals. Diane also uses EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. Her work aims to increase day-to-day functioning rather than promise quick fixes.

To begin, a person answers a brief matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps clients notice how they react under stress and try different ways of relating to reduce conflict and distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and work stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, offers a structured way to process traumatic memories when those memories keep disrupting daily life.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Diane will talk about what you want to change, try an approach, and adjust it over time. She looks at symptoms, personal goals, and how you respond to different methods to find the right fit.

The specifics of how sessions are run online are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work when life changes make in-person visits harder. Therapists will discuss which approach and format match your schedule and needs during the first meeting.
