About Diane

Diane Langston-Schicker is an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida with 27 years in clinical work. She focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background spans stress management, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, and life transitions, and she brings a measured, client-centered perspective to each case. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with relational sensitivity, drawing on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Imago Relationship Therapy to form individualized treatment plans.

Diane emphasizes building resilience, improving communication, and creating practical coping strategies that fit a person's daily life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are negotiated and progress is reviewed regularly.

Sessions focus on helping clients recover from past wounds, strengthen self-esteem, and develop skills for healthier relationships and routines. Diane's practice also addresses specialized concerns such as caregiving stress, co-morbidity, body image, and compassion fatigue.

English-language services are offered, and she accepts international clients for remote formats when appropriate.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns; Diane uses it to explore connection, grief, and attachment issues and to support healthier interpersonal responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma recovery is a central concern.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and then tailors a plan that may combine methods over time. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques so the work matches each person’s evolving needs.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow the therapist and client to meet from different locations, including international arrangements when appropriate. The variety of options helps clients access consistent support while pursuing practical, skills-based change.
