About Diane
Diane Kohm is a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. Diane also supports clients facing codependency, communication problems, family of origin concerns, and workplace issues.
Diane works in a straightforward, practical way. She listens for the patterns people get stuck in and then helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on noticing emotions, improving communication, and taking steps that fit each person's life. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when the work centers on attachment and hard-to-name emotions in relationships.
Her toolbox also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. That mix lets her shift methods to match what a client needs, whether the focus is on thoughts, behaviors, or feelings between partners. Diane aims to help clients practice new skills in real situations rather than only talking about them.
Clients who work with Diane can expect clear goals and practical homework between sessions when it helps. She frames therapy as collaborative problem solving and checks in about what is useful as work progresses. Her background includes long experience with relationship patterns and emotional coping skills.
Diane conducts sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your circumstances.
How Diane integrates EFT, ACT, and CBT into online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and shift the ways they relate to close others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and committing to actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will work collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines ideas from different approaches so the work stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to change.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice communication or emotion-focused skills in the places where their real-life interactions happen. Discuss available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and set up a first session.
