About Diane
Diane Cantwell is a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 20 years of clinical experience in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, parenting strain, low self-esteem, anger, career questions, and big life changes. She also works with concerns such as body image, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Diane draws on a practical mix of approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses hypnotherapy as part of her work when it fits a person's goals. Sessions are conversational and focused on skills and steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes time as a competitive gymnast and recovery from a serious injury, which shaped how she thinks about resilience and adapting after change. She developed Body Bingo, a Parents' Choice Gold Award initiative aimed at encouraging healthier family routines. That project reflects her interest in combining physical habits with emotional work.
In meetings she aims to identify concrete patterns that are getting in the way and to test new ways of responding. She discusses practical strategies for coping, managing anxiety, repairing relationship patterns, and exploring what matters most when people feel stuck or uncertain about their next steps.
Diane works in Florida as a LMHC and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How Diane uses CBT and hypnotherapy online
Diane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood, then test clearer, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions often include short practice tools and homework to try between meetings and can be useful for stress, social anxiety, and coping with life change.She also uses hypnotherapy techniques, which involve guided relaxation and focused attention to work on habits, body image concerns, or strong emotional responses. Hypnotherapy in sessions is framed as a collaborative technique to support specific goals, not a promise of a single solution.
Figuring out which approach fits takes time and discussion. Diane will work with the person to decide whether CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix of both best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as work progresses.
