About Diane
Diane Kohm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career transition, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. Diane names family and workplace problems, communication difficulties, and codependency among areas she addresses.
With 30 years of experience, Diane draws on approaches that center the person in therapy. She emphasizes building on a person’s own strengths and resources. Sessions focus on identifying beliefs that get in the way and trying practical steps to change how life feels and how relationships function.
Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas and elements of the Gottman Method appear when relationship work is helpful. Diane adapts methods to fit each person’s goals rather than using a single fixed model.
She aims to help people translate inner shifts into changes in daily life and relationships. That can mean practicing new ways to communicate, setting boundaries at work, or experimenting with different routines to sleep better. Conversations are collaborative and focused on practical next steps.
Diane practices in Missouri and lists her credential as LMFT. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, readers can follow the site’s process to match and schedule a session based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center and focuses on listening, respect, and supporting self-directed change. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to explore values and goals at their own pace.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where avoidance has become limiting.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing practical alternatives. CBT can be helpful for mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with day-to-day stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. They also allow focus on concrete tools like communication skills, behavioral experiments, and brief mindfulness practices without requiring an in-person visit.
