About Diane
Diane Cantwell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, family conflict, anger, career decisions, coping with life changes, and coaching needs. Social anxiety and phobia are also listed among her focus areas.
Diane draws on a background that includes time as an award-winning gymnast who recovered from a serious injury. That personal history shapes how she talks about resilience and adjustment. She blends practical skills and real-life examples when helping people make changes.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also offers hypnotherapy and brings mindfulness techniques into her work when helpful. The emphasis is on clear strategies clients can try between meetings.
Diane developed an initiative called Body Bingo, a Parents' Choice Gold Award project aimed at encouraging healthier family routines. Her approach often includes behavioral steps that tie physical activity and everyday habits to emotional coping.
People can expect a direct, structured way of working that focuses on specific problems like panic, social anxiety, or difficulty speaking up. The therapist helps set goals and practices skills during sessions so clients can use them in daily life.
How Diane Uses CBT and Hypnotherapy Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying specific behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, panic, social fears, and changing patterns that keep problems going. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access mental resources and work on habits, confidence, or anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will listen to what you want to change, discuss these methods, and try options that fit your goals and preferences. The decision about which tools to use is collaborative and can evolve over several sessions.
