About Dianne

Dianne Seibel is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist who supports people facing relationship strain, parenting worries, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with anxiety, depression, stress, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. Dianne works from Kansas and brings about 20 years of clinical experience to each conversation.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on listening without judgment and on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She uses plain language and adapts her approach to what a person needs most in the moment. Dianne avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. Clinically she draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address strong emotions in relationships. These methods are tailored to fit a person’s situation rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all fix. Many sessions include collaborative goal-setting and skill practice.

Dianne helps people identify small, doable changes and builds on strengths they already have. She aims to empower people to manage stress, cope with life transitions, and rebuild trust after trauma. People who choose to work with Dianne can expect clear communication about therapy steps and a focus on what is most useful right now.

She invites those ready for change to begin the process together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and learn safer, more connected ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions and build new ways of responding in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels most helpful and realistic for the person’s life.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or distance from Kansas. People can combine longer video or phone sessions with shorter chats or messages for ongoing support between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
