Diane Langston-Schicker, LMFT

Diane Langston-Schicker is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of experience practicing in Florida. She helps people work through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and intimacy-related issues. Her style is warm and direct, with a focus on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build on what already works in a person’s life. Diane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people recovering from trauma and abuse.

Diane commonly supports people facing grief, addiction, and major life changes. She also helps with body image, sleep and eating concerns, and stress from caregiving. Her practice includes work around ADHD, compassion fatigue, and commitment struggles.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Conversations often include skill-building for communication and emotion regulation. Diane encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.

She accepts clients who prefer to meet from other states as well as Florida residents. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current expectations. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try different interaction skills in everyday life.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and pace. In this approach the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people find their own answers, which can be especially helpful when navigating identity, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide whether attachment work, client-centered methods, CBT, or another approach fits best for the concern at hand.

Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find virtual meetings help them stay consistent with therapy and apply new skills directly to daily routines.
