About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical practice. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship tensions, parenting stress, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions address practical problems such as sleep and eating issues, addiction-related struggles, and coping with life changes.

Diane focuses on clear, steady work rather than labels. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and develop ways to change day-to-day behaviors. That can mean practicing new communication habits, building routines for better sleep and eating, or making step-by-step plans for recovery from addiction.

Her background includes long experience with trauma recovery and grief. Diane uses methods that emphasize attachment and present moment understanding alongside cognitive strategies. She also brings tools aimed at relationship dynamics and improving intimacy-related concerns.

Diane often supports people dealing with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. She has experience with body image, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and sexual lifestyle topics such as BDSM and kink when those are part of a person's story.

Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Diane combines listening with concrete exercises and homework when helpful. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin a connection, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used through the platform's process.

How sessions work

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how they relate to others and how past loss or abandonment affects present trust and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect, giving people space to set the pace and topics during sessions. It supports self-reflection and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical changes to thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and for building new daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will discuss options and help decide what fits your needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and may evolve as sessions progress, mixing listening-based methods with CBT or attachment-focused techniques when helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between appointments, avoiding travel time, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to work well at a distance, and Diane can suggest practical tools that translate to everyday routines.
