About Dianne

Dianne Seibel is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas with more than 20 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and stress-related struggles.

Her background also includes work with matters such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and diverse sexual cultures and practices. Her counseling stance is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect and sensitivity.

Dianne blends client-centered perspectives with evidence-based tools including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adapting the process to each client's needs rather than relying on labels. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify goals and practical steps toward coping, self-esteem, and healthier relationships.

People who choose her can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere aimed at empowerment and practical change. She accepts clients internationally and uses a flexible session model to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Using relational and parts-focused approaches in online therapy

Online sessions with Dianne often draw on Internal Family Systems and Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas. Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore the different 'parts' of themselves - the protective, wounded, and managerial aspects - to reduce internal conflict and heal trauma-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and helps people form more supported ways of relating to others and managing intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace of change and clarify their own goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is decided together. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and personal preferences and adjusts techniques over time to find what works best for each person.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from a distance while working with a licensed professional who adapts evidence-informed tools to the online setting.
