Diane Langston-Schicker , LMFT

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and the stresses of life change. Diane uses practical conversation and real-world strategies to help clients take the next step toward feeling better.

She uses a mix of straightforward tools and deep listening. Diane helps people name patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and build skills to manage mood and stress. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life.

Diane draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral tools. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related concerns and Imago techniques for relationship repair when appropriate. Her goal is to match methods to a person’s situation rather than push a single approach.

People come to Diane for a wide range of concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting stress, ADHD, and career transition. She works with issues tied to identity and sexual expression, including LGBT and aspects of kink or alternative sex culture. Diane helps people address body image, eating or sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy flow.

Approach and online therapy options

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist follows the client’s pace, offers reflective listening, and supports self-directed insight and growth, which is useful for stress, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and practical experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and change coping habits, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and checking in about what’s helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day.
