About Diane
Diane Kohm is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, sleep struggles, and life transitions. She draws on three decades of practice to guide change in clear, practical steps. Diane speaks plainly and focuses on what will make daily life feel easier.
Diane believes change happens from the inside out, and that relationships shape how people think and behave. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building on existing strengths, and trying small shifts that lead to different results. She encourages practical experiments between sessions so new habits can take hold.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and client-centered listening. She tailors methods to each person rather than using a single template. Expect collaborative goal-setting and clear steps that match individual needs.
With years of work across many concerns, Diane has supported people with bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, career stress, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, and workplace strain. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Diane practices in Missouri and works in English. People who want to begin are invited to follow the site's process to connect, answer a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Diane’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships and can help with communication and intimacy concerns.Diane treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the client and therapist decide together which tools to use.
The therapist's original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions without commuting, or fewer disruptions to a workday. Those practical benefits can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while working toward better sleep, lower stress, and improved relationships.
