About Diane

Diane Shrock-Wang is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with people at different life stages, from young adults managing early career transitions to individuals navigating midlife changes and aging concerns. Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, comprehensive approach that helps clients build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical coping strategies.

She addresses many common concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and the stresses of parenting and caregiving. Diane also focuses on issues such as attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, body image, commitment and communication problems, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Her work includes supporting LGBT clients and those coping with career stresses, compassion fatigue, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues.

Drawing from approaches like attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and Imago relationship therapy, she adapts methods to the needs of each person. Her goal is to empower clients to heal from past wounds, strengthen relationships, improve communication, and find clearer, more meaningful pathways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections. It helps people understand attachment needs, repair relational ruptures, and build more secure bonds with partners, family members, and themselves. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values, feelings, and goals at their own pace. This approach is useful for enhancing self-understanding, self-esteem, and personal growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop new strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances change. This collaborative process helps tailor care so it feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. For many people, remote modalities increase access and convenience while allowing therapists to use the same evidence-informed approaches they rely on in person.
