Diane Langston-Schicker, LMFT

Diane Langston-Schicker is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Diane aims to make therapy understandable and practical so people can use what they learn in daily life.

Her work often addresses stress management, communication problems, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and transitions like caregiving or career shifts. She uses a tailored approach that fits the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method. This means sessions look different depending on each client's needs and goals.

Diane emphasizes building self-compassion and practical coping skills. She helps people process past hurts while also creating strategies to manage current challenges such as sleep, eating concerns, addiction, and anger. Her practice includes attention to relationship patterns and intimacy-related issues, including jealousy within those themes.

Therapy with her mixes listening, gentle challenge, and hands-on techniques that people can practice between sessions. She draws from approaches like attachment-focused work, cognitive methods, and trauma-focused tools to support recovery and change. Diane encourages steady progress at a pace that feels manageable.

Sessions are conducted in English and Diane accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How Diane's Approaches Shape Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships affect feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns that cause hurt and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and manage anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works on disturbing memories and the responses they trigger; it can reduce distress tied to those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Diane works together with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
