About Diane
Diane Langston-Schicker is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties. Her work includes practical tools for daily life and clear steps to handle intense emotions.
Diane focuses on real problems like sleeping and eating struggles, parenting strains, addiction concerns, and coping with big life changes. She also addresses attachment and intimacy issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make thinking and behavior feel more manageable. Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then offers focused strategies that fit each person's situation.

Diane aims to help people build stronger self-esteem, better communication, and clearer boundaries. She works with clients to set achievable goals and track progress.
The pace and focus change to match what each person needs. Therapy can include coaching elements for career or life transitions alongside clinical work for mood and trauma.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to help people notice and change how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy, CBT is used to teach practical tools for anxiety, depression, sleep, and behavior change through homework and structured sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most. That collaborative choice helps people stay engaged and make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or a way to follow up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life changes.
