Dianne Seibel, LCMFT

Dianne Seibel is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas with more than 20 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stresses, and issues with attention and compulsive behaviors. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, trauma or emotional abuse, and life changes such as caregiving and aging concerns.

Dianne’s manner is warm and interactive. She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps tailored to each person’s situation rather than one-size-fits-all fixes.

Her work draws on several approaches so she can match methods to needs. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions, attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns, and emotion-focused methods to clarify and shift painful feelings. She also uses client-centered listening to keep the person’s priorities central.

Dianne has spent two decades helping people manage both everyday stress and complex problems. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support clients as they take steps toward change. People seeking help for aging and geriatric issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, or blended family concerns may find her background relevant.

To begin, she asks people to describe what matters most to them and to set small, practical goals. The focus is on understandable strategies that fit day-to-day life and on building skills that last beyond therapy.

How Dianne’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Dianne uses approaches that translate to focused conversations and practical skill building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, then try small experiments to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stresses. Attachment-Based work looks at how past and current relationships shape reactions and closeness, helping people change recurring interaction patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and shift painful emotions in the context of relationships, which can improve connection and reduce recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques, pacing, and focus together rather than imposing a single model.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and can reduce the need to arrange childcare or travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work when a video call isn’t practical, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction that supports reading expressions. Discuss preferred formats with the therapist when scheduling to find what fits your routine and needs.
