About Diane
Diane Shrock-Wang is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She frames early sessions around client fit so people can determine whether her collaborative, reflective style feels like the right match for their needs. Diane emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper emotional exploration to help clients regain balance and clarity.
Her approach draws on several well-established models, including Internal Family Systems, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR when appropriate. This blend allows her to address immediate symptoms such as sleeping or eating difficulties while also attending to underlying patterns like attachment wounds, family-of-origin issues, and codependency.
Diane integrates coaching elements for career concerns and caregiver stress, and she supports people navigating grief, addiction-related issues, and intimacy or communication struggles. Based in California and conducting therapy in English, she offers flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and life demands.
Diane aims to create an accepting environment that encourages self-understanding, resilience, and clearer decision making as clients move through change.
Integrating therapeutic approaches with convenient online care
Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to explore inner parts and their roles within emotional systems, helping people reduce internal conflict and build self-leadership; it can be useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and persistent patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection styles and offers pathways to repair and more supported relating, which is helpful for intimacy, communication, and family-of-origin concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth, providing a supportive foundation for exploring self-esteem, life transitions, and coping strategies.Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Diane works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the balance of skills work and depth-oriented exploration over time. Clients are involved in choosing what feels most effective for them.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives. These formats support continuity of care and flexible scheduling, enabling consistent work on symptoms, relationship patterns, grief, or career concerns from wherever a client is located within California.
