About Diane
Diane Kohm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem, family issues, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Diane also lists codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, forgiveness, life purpose, midlife crisis, veteran and armed forces issues, self-love, women's issues, and workplace problems among her focus areas.
Diane frames struggles as arising in relationship - not only with other people but with one’s own thoughts and patterns. In sessions she helps people notice the beliefs and behaviors that keep them stuck. That can mean learning to set clearer boundaries, saying no more often, or finding steadier routines for sleep and mood. She invites practical changes rather than abstract talk.
Her approach draws from several established therapies. Diane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people clarify values and act on them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to address thinking patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are central. Client-Centered Therapy influences how she structures conversations.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps people can try between meetings. Diane works collaboratively to set goals and track progress over time. She encourages testing small changes, noticing the effects, and adjusting plans as needed.
People who have felt overwhelmed by others’ needs or who keep putting relationships first may find sessions that look at both inner patterns and everyday interactions helpful. Those interested in starting are invited to follow the site's booking steps to learn more.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It is often useful for anxiety, life transitions, and areas where someone feels stuck in old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It is practical and task-oriented, good for stress, sleep issues, and mood management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed rather than sticking to one single method.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use visual or written exercises during sessions and try skills in everyday settings between meetings. Talk with the therapist about which format and session length will best match practical needs and weekly routines.
