I became a psychotherapist because I believe deeply in the human capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. For me, therapy is a collaborative process- one where we work together to understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and uncover new ways of approaching life with greater clarity and compassion. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on building a safe, supportive relationship. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a therapeutic experience where you feel genuinely seen and understood. Together, we’ll explore not only the challenges you’re facing but also the strengths, values, and resources you already carry within you.

You've spent enough time putting everyone else first. It's time to take care of you. You're the one everyone counts on. You show up for your family, your job, your friends, and everyone who needs you. From the outside, it looks like you're handling it all, but inside you're exhausted. Maybe your mind never stops racing, anxiety keeps you up at night, past trauma still affects your daily life, or you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, grieving, or simply not like yourself anymore. You don't have to keep carrying it all alone. I'm Sarah Langlois, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Air Force veteran. I help adults overcome anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and chronic stress so they can feel more like themselves again. Therapy is more than just talking—it's a place where you'll feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to create lasting change. Together, we'll work to reduce anxiety and quiet racing thoughts, heal from painful experiences, manage stress with greater confidence, set healthy boundaries without guilt, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels calmer, more balanced, and fulfilling. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based techniques tailored to your unique goals. You don't have to keep doing this on your own. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change. When you're ready, I'm here to help you move from simply getting through each day to truly living it.

For the past 20 years, I have worked with families, couples, adults, and adolescents. Using cognitive-behavioral theory with narrative techniques, I help empower clients to explore areas within their lives that present challenges and inhibit change, and assist them with finding solutions that will work for them. However, I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital component within any program, which means that I believe that any work needs to be collaborative between myself and my clients. I am certified to deliver trauma-focused treatments as well as providing services to help manage stress and anxiety.

Hello, and welcome. I'm Diane Littel, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor, holistic practitioner, and founder of Earthways Healing. For more than 20 years, I've had the privilege of helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate life's challenges, and reconnect with their authentic selves. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. That's why I provide IntuitiveCare, it's a more personalized, integrative approach that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic and intuitive practices to support healing of the mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from approaches such as Brainspotting, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, goals, and readiness for change. At the heart of IntuitiveCare™ is the belief that you already possess the inner wisdom needed for healing. My role is to help you uncover that wisdom, gently process what has been holding you back, and support you in creating lasting change. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating grief, relationship challenges, addiction recovery, or seeking greater purpose and balance, I will meet you where you are with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered. Together, we'll work toward helping you build resilience, strengthen your connection with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence, peace, and authenticity. Wherever you are on your journey, you don't have to walk it alone.

I believe healing begins with understanding. Many of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that bring people to therapy are not signs of weakness or failure—they are often adaptations that developed in response to difficult experiences, stress, or adversity. While these patterns may have helped you cope or protect yourself at one point in your life, they can sometimes create challenges in relationships, work, and overall well-being. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences without judgment. Together, we will work to understand not only what is happening in your life, but also why certain patterns may have developed and whether they continue to serve you today. Earlier experiences in my own life taught me that adversity can shape the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. Through these experiences, I developed a deep appreciation for how the mind and nervous system adapt to help us navigate challenges. The mind is designed to prioritize safety and survival, and many of the symptoms people experience are understandable responses to difficult circumstances rather than character flaws. While these adaptations may have been necessary at one point, healing often involves learning new ways of responding that better support the life you want to build. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, build resilience, strengthen boundaries, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Together, we can help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Wisconsin. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Wisconsin from Madison to Green Bay!

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Wisconsin that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
