Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Starting therapy can feel intimidating—especially if you’ve been dealing with anxiety, trauma, mood swings, or feeling overwhelmed for a long time. I offer online therapy to adults 18+ in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, providing a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you feel more grounded and in control.
I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma-informed care, ADHD, PTSD, and mood disorders, including bipolar disorder and major depression. I also have significant experience working with serious mental illness and complex presentations. My style is collaborative and practical, focused on building skills that actually help in day-to-day life.
Whether you’re struggling with panic, emotional regulation, intrusive thoughts, or the impact of past trauma, we’ll work together to create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. Sessions are offered via secure telehealth for convenience and accessibility.
I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, practical, and grounded in real life. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from managing anxiety, trauma, mood symptoms, or attention difficulties on their own. My role is to help you feel more stable, supported, and equipped with tools that actually help day to day.
I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and serious mental illness, including bipolar disorder and psychotic-spectrum conditions. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and tailor treatment to each client’s goals, nervous system, and lived experience.
In our work together, we focus on understanding patterns, building coping and regulation skills, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. I aim to provide a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
I offer secure online therapy for adults 18+ throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
Is the critical voice in your head so loud that nothing is ever good enough? Are you successful and smart but constantly feel inadequate and filled with shame? Do you walk on eggshells and constantly overanalyze? You are a capable adult who have survived childhood emotional abuse and neglect or narcissistic abuse. Despite years of trying to be "good enough", you still feel like you are doing it wrong and rely on people pleasing, numbing out and external success to try and fill you up. You jump easily at noise, try to read people and say what you think others want to hear in order to feel safe. You are not alone and I can help.

You will find I am compassionate, warm, and authentic. I have been there. I have the life experience and education to help you overcome your challenges. No issue is too big or too small.

We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering telehealth counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.

We work with many individuals who are gender non-conforming, transgender, or gender queer, as well as their families. We make no assumptions about your or your child's gender when you come to our practice, but rather our goal is to listen and help you navigate how best to move forward either individually or as a family. Part of our work also encompasses queer relationship counseling, as well as non-traditional relationships, such as open and polyamorous relationships.
A second speciality area of ours is offering evidenced based treatment, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for emotion and behavior regulation. Clients come to us struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, attention and organization difficulties, and/or self injury.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The city is home to world-class mental health institutions including McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
