Stephanie Langlais, LICSW — Therapist in Rhode Island

Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I am an independent licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with adults in various settings. I love guiding, being of support and helping individuals to heal and feel safe as well as cope with life struggles.

My focus

I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, and low self esteem to name a few. Together, we focus on building practical coping skills, strengthening confidence, and creating realistic goals. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where trust can develop over time.

My approach

My approach is welcoming, non judgmental and compassionate. I focus on helping you make sense of what you’ve been through, process difficult or past experiences, and build practical coping skills. We will work at your pace so you can feel more in control and confident in your daily life functioning while utilizing various treatment modalities.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive and compassionate. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I balance listening with gentle guidance, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings while also offering practical feedback and tools you can use in your daily life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping others, especially those who may feel overlooked, misunderstood, or unworthy. My path into social work came from a desire to support people through life's challenges with compassion and care. I value creating a space where clients feel heard, supported and empowered.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with individuals to identify meaningful, realistic goals based on what matters most to them. We break those goals into manageable steps and focus on building practical skills you can use in your daily life. I check in on your progress, adjust our approach as needed, and support you through challenges.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to casually get to know one another. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, your goals, and any questions you have. I'll gather some information and start where you feel most comfortable. If starting is challenging, no worries I can take the lead and we will operate at a pace that works best for you always.
