About Dianne

Dianne Seibel is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LCMFT) based in Kansas who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and challenges with parenting or addiction. She also supports those dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, stress, ADHD, and career-related concerns.

Background and approach

Her first priority is creating a respectful, compassionate space where clients can begin to sort through difficult feelings and decisions. Her style is warm and interactive.

She listens closely and adapts conversations to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as clearer ways to understand patterns in relationships and behavior.

Dianne draws from several common approaches, including Gottman Method ideas for improving interactions, attachment-based thinking about how we connect, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or intense stress are concerns.

With more than 20 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of issues such as bipolar disorder, addictions, chronic illness, and complex grief. She aims to avoid stigmatizing labels and treats each person with sensitivity and respect.

Dianne believes therapy is a collaborative process and tailors plans to real-life needs. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers guidance and steady support to take those first steps.

The focus is on useful tools and clearer choices, not judgment.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Gottman Method ideas focus on improving the way people interact and handle conflict. Sessions using these ideas look at communication patterns, reduce criticism and defensiveness, and build habits that improve connection over time.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional needs and responses. It helps people recognize attachment patterns and develop more supported ways of asking for support and coping with stress.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflective listening while the person guides what to work on, which helps build trust and clarity about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dianne will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video works well for face-to-face conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and texting or live chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and stick with the work.
