Diane Kohm, LMFT

Diane Kohm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, career strain, and family-of-origin issues. Diane practices in Missouri and speaks English. Diane draws on three decades of clinical experience to help clients make practical changes. She focuses on strengths clients already have and on shifting unhelpful beliefs that keep them stuck. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple tools people can use between meetings. Her work blends several approaches so care fits each person. Diane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed ideas guide work on relationship patterns and communication. Diane favors a collaborative style. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients set achievable tasks. Therapy is framed as learning and practice rather than a one-time fix. People come for short-term problem solving and longer-term change. Diane helps with codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and midlife transitions. She also works with concerns common to women, veterans and armed forces issues, and workplace stress. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Diane's Approaches Inform Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take small committed steps toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, and work-related stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding interaction patterns and emotions in close relationships to improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, saving travel time, and more flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online appointments help them maintain momentum between sessions and make it simpler to follow homework or practice skills in everyday settings.
