Hello! I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Florida.

I also offer Biblical counseling to individuals in all 50 states. This may or may not be covered by insurance depending on the state that you are located in.

Welcome – I’m William Sawyer, MSW, LICSW, LCSW Online Therapy for Individuals and Couples in Minnesota & Florida I’m a therapist who help people and couples when life feels really hard. Most of the people I work with are men and women in relationships with each other. Many come to me when they’re feeling hurt, lost, or scared their relationship might fall apart. If you and your partner are fighting all the time, feeling distant, or just can’t seem to fix things, I want you to know you’re not alone-and things can get better. Even though I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I work with all kinds of people. I have a lot of experience helping men and women who are married or dating each other, as well as people from different backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ folks. My way of helping is gentle, caring, and never judgmental. When you’re stressed out, anxious, or overwhelmed, I help you slow down, breathe, and see what’s really going on. We’ll talk through your worries and pain, and I’ll give you tools you can use right away to feel calm and in control. My approach helps couples talk without yelling, listen without shutting down, and start feeling close again-even when things seem hopeless. I also help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or feeling different from others. No matter what you’re facing, my goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and less alone. Together, we’ll find ways to ease your stress and bring back hope. If you feel like you’re at the end of your rope, or just want someone to talk to who gets it, I’m here for you. We’ll work together to heal old wounds and help you feel stronger-both as a person and as a couple. If you’re ready to feel better, let’s talk.

Hello! I have been practicing for 8 years, with the last 5 years being in private practice focusing my work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and those feeling stuck/unmotivated rediscover and reconnect with their purpose and passions. I am licensed psychotherapist in both Texas (LPC) and Minnesota (LPCC). I received my Masters from the University of Montana - Missoula, spending time working in University Counseling Centers and Community Mental Health before continuing my work with Individuals, Couples, Military Service Members, and EMS in private practice beginning in 2019.

Hello and welcome! I'm Alexandra Brown and I currently work with adults ages 18 and over in individual, couples, and family therapy. At the heart I'm an emotionally-focused therapist who sees through an attachment-based lens. I also incorporate pieces of cognitive-behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, and relational therapy in my work with clients. I believe that true healing cannot occur in isolation, and that the healing process in therapy begins with building a strong and trusting therapeutic alliance. Through building this relationship, we can work together to identify goals, increase understanding of unhelpful patterns leading to distress, and ultimately enact sustainable change. This process, or "the work" in therapy with me does not just consist of addressing and managing surface-level symptoms of various mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, or interpersonal conflict, but it involves digging deeper into the issues underlying them. Only then can you gain awareness around how the symptoms began to take life, how they do not serve you anymore, and how to create long-lasting change based on the newly discovered parts of yourself you will uncover in this work.

Congratulations on taking this first step forward in your growth journey. I take a wholistic aproach to therapy, and believe that you hold the key to your own healing. I am passionate about working with people of all ages and backgrounds to find a way forward through difficult situations. My promise to provide a nonjudgmental space for you to become empowered and experience hope. I have 17 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and the aging population. My background includes work in educational, residential, and outpatient settings. You don't have to stay "stuck", and you don't have to do it alone!

Meet Mike Arieta, LICSW Hello and welcome. I’m Mike Arieta, a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and teens through life’s most complex challenges. Since 1995, I’ve worked across diverse settings—from foster care and homelessness to adoption and refugee support—and have been practicing clinically since 2011. My therapeutic approach is body-based and trauma-informed. I believe our bodies often speak before our minds can make sense of what we’re feeling. This philosophy guides my work with clients navigating trauma, PTSD, and transitions that require deep emotional resilience. I integrate movement-based and somatic strategies to help clients reconnect with themselves and their communities. Currently, I’m completing my Doctor of Social Work degree at Tulane University, where my research focuses on trauma recovery and evidence-informed practices that foster healing. I also hold advanced training in adoption competence and provide support to foster youth, adoptive families, and caregivers navigating complex systems. Therapy, for me, is a collaborative journey. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they reclaim their stories, build strength, and move toward meaningful change. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my work—I look forward to connecting with you.

Welcome! I'm Shequitta Lenoir a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and Texas. I have practiced in the mental health field for 19 years assisting individuals in identifying and practicing coping skills to manage symptoms they experience. I have worked with couples and families in navigating through barriers that plague their relationships (ex: anger, mistrust, lack of communication, etc). In my work with teenagers, I have assisted them in working through challenges in their environments whether it's at school, in friendships or within their family dynamics. I am happy you chose to invest in your health and wellness. So often we take time to focus on others which is endearing, and it is also important to take time to focus on your specific areas of need and I'm hopeful we can do that together.

My first career includes 17 years of retail management. I worked in multiple divisions, environments, and roles within the retail management industry. Most of my experiences were in the Big-Box retail environments or within the corporate office environment, so I understand the expectations and stressors of P&L management, marketing, staff performance/recruitment/training & development, shrinkage, O.S.H.A. compliance, and merchandising. I transitioned from the retail management industry to the human services industry in March of 2010 after receiving my master’s degree in Human Services with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling. This information is pertinent for adults who need assistance to cope with work-life balance, corporate industry standards, stressful work environments, conflict management with co-workers, and work performance due to compassion fatigue or inappropriate time management.
