Diane Langston-Schicker, LMFT

Diane Langston-Schicker is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. Diane aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or transition.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including trauma recovery, grief, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, and challenges tied to parenting or caregiving. She also helps people with intimacy issues, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related coping. Diane pays attention to how past attachments and experiences shape current relationships and behavior.

In sessions she uses practical methods to manage symptoms and improve everyday life. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. The goal is to build skills, reduce distress, and find clearer next steps.

Diane works with people navigating midlife transitions and the complex emotions those years can bring. She describes therapy as a collaborative process focused on recovery from hurt, stronger self-connection, and better communication habits. Her style is steady, empathetic, and goal-oriented.

People can expect direct conversation, homework when it helps, and an emphasis on small, achievable changes. Diane welcomes clients who want to make sense of a difficult chapter and move toward more stable, manageable days.

How Diane’s approaches shape online support

Diane commonly uses attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people change those patterns to improve connections. Client-centered listening focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building trust through empathic, nonjudgmental conversation. Cognitive behavioral strategies break problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teach practical skills to change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced so people can try techniques and adjust what they do together over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it reduces travel time, allows shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and can be less disruptive to work or caregiving schedules. Discussing practical needs at the first appointment helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day routines without assuming any particular format.
