Diane Langston-Schicker

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her work often focuses on practical coping skills and clearer communication so clients can manage day-to-day stress. Diane draws on a mix of approaches including attachment-based methods, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, and EMDR when trauma is part of the picture. She uses plain language in sessions and helps people name patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice skills between visits. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes long experience with trauma recovery, life transitions, and grief work. Diane has also supported people facing addiction, bipolar mood management, and chronic caregiver stress. She is familiar with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, and the needs of people in LGBT communities. Sessions aim to build self-compassion and workable plans for everyday life. Diane helps clients unpack difficult memories, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep and eating routines when those are affected. She also offers coaching-style support for career concerns and coping with big life changes. Diane provides services in English and accepts international clients.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online care

Diane uses attachment-based methods to help people understand how early connections affect current relationships. That work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance, and it can help with anxiety, trust issues, and intimacy concerns. Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the client’s lead; sessions emphasize empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior with concrete exercises, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts techniques so they stay relevant to everyday life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins when a quick session is needed. It also supports doing homework between sessions, like practicing CBT exercises or attachment-based reflections, so therapy connects directly to daily routines.
