About Diane

Diane Shrock-Wang is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of clinical experience who works with adults seeking help for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps people build resilience, clarify values, and develop practical coping strategies to manage day-to-day demands and meaningful transitions.

Her practice blends several evidence-informed methods to meet individual needs, drawing on attachment-based work to explore relational patterns, client-centered approaches to support personal agency, and cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Diane also uses EMDR when trauma memories or overwhelming emotions interfere with functioning, and she integrates relational methods such as Imago therapy when interpersonal growth is a central focus. Based in California, Diane brings a warm, thoughtful presence and an emphasis on cultivating stronger self-understanding, improved communication, and sustainable change.

She supports people facing grief, addiction, career stress, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, body-image concerns, and many other issues, helping each person find workable steps toward greater balance and wellbeing.

Online approaches that meet people where they are

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and expectations. This approach helps clients identify recurring relational dynamics, increase emotional attunement, and build more supported ways of connecting with others, which can be especially useful for addressing intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family of origin patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and strengths by offering empathy, acceptance, and nonjudgmental support. It helps people clarify values, increase self-understanding, and foster personal growth during life transitions, self-esteem work, and coping with stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and problem-solving, making it well suited for anxiety, depression, and managing daily functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to explore which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow people to engage in therapy from their own setting, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
