About Diane
Diane Kohm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with thirty years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, stress, sleep trouble, and questions about career or life purpose. Diane also supports those coping with trauma, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and codependency concerns.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals they can work toward. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Diane draws from a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies help people notice emotions and choose actions that match their values.
She also brings relationship-focused work into sessions, using Emotionally-Focused ideas and Gottman Method principles to improve communication and connection. Client-centered work keeps the pace and focus shaped by the person in the room.
Diane practices in Missouri as an LMFT and works with people to identify what matters most to them. Her aim is to help clients build on strengths, release beliefs that no longer serve them, and translate inner change into better day-to-day relationships and functioning.
How Diane's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors that change mood and functioning. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can improve communication and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That may mean combining elements from different models and adjusting as progress unfolds.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by removing commute time or allowing a quicker check-in during a lunch break. It also offers flexibility for people who live in different places or travel frequently. Licensed professionals can use these methods in virtual work to focus on skills practice, emotional processing, and improving daily routines without promising any particular session type.
