About Dianne

Dianne Gadishaw is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening closely and naming the strengths they already have. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making small changes that matter.

Her work often centers on stress and anxiety, grief and depression, and healing from trauma and abuse. She also helps people navigate family conflict and supports those facing issues related to first responder roles, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and non-monogamous relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying attuned to what feels right for each person. Dianne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape today's patterns. She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.

Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused methods guide sessions that prioritize the client's perspective and emotional experience. In a typical appointment she will listen, reflect, and offer tools you can try between meetings. Work together will include checking what’s helping and adjusting the plan as needed.

The tone is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. People who reach out can expect clear, practical steps paired with attention to deeper emotional patterns. Dianne aims to support each person as they move toward more manageable days and clearer relationships.

Online support

Approach and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and make different choices in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choosing actions that line up with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and introduces practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods and adjust them based on what helps most. This means starting with what the person needs, testing different tools, and choosing the mix that fits goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers options that can fit busy lives. Video calls give a face-to-face feel for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup works better. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick support between appointments, or a way to express thoughts without being on camera. These formats provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments.
