About Diane

Diane Cable is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. She focuses on relationship issues, grief, career changes, depression, and coping with life transitions. Diane also works with people facing codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and questions of life purpose.

She typically helps people who are worn down by others' needs, who have trouble saying no, or who feel lost after a major change. Diane uses practical conversations to sort out what matters and what can change. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and looks for small shifts that make daily life easier.

Her background includes long experience with mood concerns and long-term health challenges, and with people managing caregiving or end-of-life responsibilities. Diane brings a faith-informed perspective rooted in Christian values and a conservative outlook, when clients want that reflected in sessions. She supports veterans and older adults alongside others navigating major life transitions.

In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings, practice clearer communication, and set realistic boundaries. She also works on coping tools for depression and grief, and on practical steps during career or role changes. People leave with specific strategies they can try between meetings.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first scheduled session let her and a client agree on goals and a working plan. Costs vary with location, and the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for relationship and life transition work

Evidence-based techniques often used for relationship and mood concerns include structured talk work that focuses on communication skills and boundary setting. This type of approach teaches concrete ways to say no, express needs, and change interaction patterns that fuel people-pleasing or codependent behaviors.

Another common method is problem-focused work for coping and mood regulation. It breaks bigger issues into manageable steps, teaches coping strategies for grief and depression, and helps people choose practical actions during career shifts or caregiving stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then refine the plan together. Adjustments happen based on what works in real life, not only in session.

Session logistics should fit daily routines. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday or to reduce travel time. Other formats may be offered depending on the therapist's current practice, so check available choices when you schedule.
