About Diane
Diane Kohm is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, career shifts, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and trauma. Diane focuses on practical steps that create change in daily life and relationships.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful emotional patterns in close relationships. Diane also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support values-based decisions and build on a person’s own strengths.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method inform her work when addressing thoughts, behaviors, and communication patterns. Diane tends to keep sessions straightforward and collaborative. She listens for what matters most, helps set clear goals, and offers tools people can try between meetings.
Conversations are geared toward small, concrete changes that add up over time. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and decades of clinical work in Missouri. Diane’s approach aims to help people translate internal shifts into better daily routines and more stable relationships.
She meets clients where they are and works alongside them to create workable plans. People seeking help with family of origin issues, codependency, forgiveness, midlife questions, or workplace stress will find focused attention on those concerns. Diane also supports veterans and those navigating life purpose and women’s issues.

Online support
How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotions that drive relationship patterns and reactions. Online sessions using EFT help people name key feelings and practice new ways of connecting in everyday interactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In a virtual session this looks like identifying small, value-based steps to try between appointments.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening. The therapist follows each person’s pace and reflections, helping them draw on their own strengths to solve problems.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Diane will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful. She adjusts the plan as work unfolds so the approach fits the issue and the person’s needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for relationship work and emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, quick coping tools, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied locations.
