About Diane

LMHC (Florida) with 20 years of experience, Diane Cantwell focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, self-esteem, and life changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy in her work. Diane draws on a background that includes school counseling and a past as a competitive gymnast to inform how she helps people recover and adapt.

Diane helps people sort out where stress and anxiety come from and how those patterns show up in daily life. She uses CBT to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool to support relaxation and shift habits when clients choose it.

Sessions combine practical skill-building with straightforward discussion. Diane often introduces mindfulness practices and concrete homework to practice between meetings. She also brings experience from creating a family-focused health program called Body Bingo, which aims to encourage healthier routines.

Her work addresses divorce and separation, forgiveness, body image, social anxiety and phobia, anger, career decisions, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Diane frames these concerns as issues that can be addressed with step-by-step strategies and regular practice.

People who want to start are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Diane does not accept international clients at this time.

How CBT and Hypnotherapy are used in remote sessions

CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns that drive stress and anxiety. In practice this means identifying specific thoughts, testing them in real life, and trying new behaviors to see what changes. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, social fears, low self-esteem, and problem-focused issues.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people shift habits or reduce distress. It can be used alongside talk-based work to support behavior change, manage strong emotional reactions, or rehearse new responses to triggers.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Diane will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix makes sense and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Many people choose remote work because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow brief check-ins when a full visit is not convenient. Licensed professionals can use different approaches effectively in remote work; Diane uses her stated methods to structure sessions and homework so clients can practice skills between meetings.
