About Diane
Diane London is a licensed professional counselor with more than two decades of experience helping people find steadier ground. She brings 24 years of clinical work and training to sessions and practices from Michigan.
Background and approach
Diane focuses on practical steps that people can use right away to feel less overwhelmed and more connected in their relationships. Diane draws on several approaches to match what a person needs, including Gottman Method work for relationship concerns.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Her background includes marriage and family therapy training and experience with sex therapy topics, such as low desire, orgasm concerns, and intimacy issues. She also supports people navigating grief, career changes, parenting stress, and eating or body-image concerns.
The work can cover practical communication skills, emotion regulation, and rebuilding trust. Diane has worked with military families and people facing transitions like divorce, co-parenting, and blending households.
She also brings experience with trauma-informed tools and approaches when those are needed to move forward. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative.
Diane helps people set achievable goals and practices between meetings. The focus is on what will help in day-to-day life and in relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Diane uses the Gottman Method ideas to help couples and partners improve communication and reduce destructive cycles. In practice this means learning specific conversation skills and routines to build connection and manage conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take simple actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. That approach often suits people facing anxiety, stress, or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people develop more supported ways of relating with partners and close others.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Diane will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their situation. If something doesn’t feel right, she adjusts the plan so the work becomes useful and manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and observing interaction patterns. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing, need brief support between sessions, or want asynchronous check-ins that fit around work or caregiving.
