Diane London, LPCC, LPC

Diane London is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience helping people navigate relationship and intimacy concerns. She holds a PhD in organizational psychology and a master's degree in marriage and family therapy. Diane also has a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy and brings that focus into her clinical work.

She works with individuals and couples on issues such as sexual desire differences, difficulty with orgasm, premature or delayed ejaculation, and intimacy after illness. Diane also supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career decisions, and parenting strain. Her background includes work with military families.

Diane blends several practical approaches in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She draws on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas to improve connection and communication between partners.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Diane helps clients set clear, manageable steps and practices to try between meetings. She also offers coaching-style guidance for career or life transitions.

Her training includes work with trauma-focused methods such as EMDR and brainspotting, and she can incorporate trauma-informed care when it fits the client's needs. Diane welcomes people from LGBT communities and those exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures. She sees international clients and conducts sessions from her Michigan practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions consistent with those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust formed in close relationships and can help partners or individuals improve communication and emotional bonding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit those goals. She adapts methods as progress is made, and clients collaborate on what feels most useful.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions through structured exercises and guided conversations, and Diane will discuss how to shape sessions to meet your needs.
