I believe healing begins when we stop living by old stories, limiting beliefs, and expectations that no longer fit who we are. Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, challenge patterns that keep you stuck, and intentionally build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-worth, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. My approach is real, collaborative, and genuine, balancing compassion with accountability. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're learning to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, or build healthier relationships, my goal is to help you gain the confidence and skills to move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and purpose.

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.

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’re used to being the strong one. But who takes care of you? Maybe you’re the person everyone turns to. You show up for your family, keep up with work, take care of everyone else, and somehow manage to keep things moving—even when you’re exhausted. Lately, though, you may not feel like yourself. You might be anxious all the time, overwhelmed by everything on your plate, emotionally drained, struggling with sleep, or finding it harder to enjoy the things you used to. Maybe you’ve been holding it together for so long that you’re not even sure how to slow down anymore. I’m Sarah Langlois, LCSW and Air Force Veteran. I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief, burnout, relationship concerns, chronic stress, and major life changes. I especially enjoy working with people who are used to taking care of everyone else. You don’t have to wait until things feel completely unmanageable to reach out. Sometimes therapy is simply a place to finally have someone listen to you, without judgment, while you figure out what you need. My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We’ll work together to understand what’s going on, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that actually fit your life. I use approaches including CBT, trauma-informed therapy, and strengths-based therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just need to be willing to take the first step. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, I’d be happy to work with you.

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.

Hello and kudos for taking the first steps to improving your life. At times, life can sure be challenging, sometimes confusing and other times painful. So, taking the first step to a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. ‘Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is looking fear in the eyes as you walk on by.’ (Anonymous). My name is James and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Wisconsin and Iowa, with over 7 years of practice, and over 30 years related counseling expertise. I have experience in helping individuals, couples and families from many backgrounds. I am also a ‘Dad’ to three, beautiful and amazing, adult daughters; so (maybe) I am a veteran parent! I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, regardless of their background or station in life. Our talks will be in a judgement free zone, tailored to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to listen and support you as best I can and look forward to talking with you on the teletherapy platform.

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.
