About Diane

Diane Kohm is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, depression, family conflict, trauma, sleeping problems, career transitions, bipolar-related concerns, life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames psychological work around the reality that change often happens inside relationships - with partners, family, colleagues, and with one’s own inner world of thoughts and beliefs. Diane helps clients build on existing strengths, let go of unhelpful patterns, and translate internal shifts into healthier interactions and daily routines.

Her style combines a collaborative, person-focused stance with practical therapeutic tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches. Diane uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and client-centered listening to tailor work to each individual or couple.

Located in Missouri and practicing as an LMFT, she brings a conciliatory, goal-oriented perspective that emphasizes meaningful, sustainable change and clearer communication within relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Relationship Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses within close relationships and strengthening stable bonds, often helping partners and family members communicate more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will work with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This shared decision making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and actionable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility in how and when people engage in care. These options support busy schedules, make it easier to include partners or family members across distances, and allow clients to continue work from their own settings while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
