I am a clinical psychologist with experience treating adolescents and adults and training graduate-level clinical counselors. My specialty, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is an empirically-supported short-term approach to treat anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessional thoughts, compulsive or unhealthy behaviors, depression, anger, and trauma. CBT strategies can also be useful in the domains of stress management, romantic relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting, self-improvement and goal-setting. I was trained and mentored directly by Dr. Albert Ellis, the founding father of CBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy).

We'll explore your unique strengths and traits, and how they will support you to become the next version of yourself. We'll look with compassion to find stuck patterns and knowledge gaps that have kept you from getting there. I'm an LGBTQ+ ally, and I specialize in life transitions and wellness, "high energy" symptoms as in ADD/ADHD, anger management, stress management, anxiety, obsessive thinking, and compulsive behaviors, from adolescents and older. I also work with couples around communication, trust, and connection; and perinatal & motherhood experiences.

In a caring and supportive environment, you can explore your internal and external landscape .... at your pace and in your way. My role is to help you reconnect with your source of strength and resilience. I am dedicated to empowering you to navigate the demands of today's complex reality. Life presents us with tough challenges, and we do not have to "go it alone". I will work with you to identify and utilize your core strengths and resilience, bringing you closer to living the life you want. We will create a roadmap and tools so you can reach your desired destination.

Welcome and I'm glad you stopped by! I've been a practicing counselor for the past 17 years and I am passionate about my role in supporting clients to improve emotional comfort.

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. I hope to be a resource for you to help you reach your personal goals. Anxiety, trauma, life-stressors, addiction, men's issues, and couples conflict are just a few of my specialties.

Creating change is difficult and takes effort. A person cannot be happy and content with their relationships with others, without first being happy and content with themselves. By looking at yourself, where you have been, where you are now and how you use what you have been given, whether environmental or biological, you can understand the changes in your behavior that are necessary to function in this world at an optimal level. A level where you feel good about yourself and enjoy healthy, fulfilling relationships.

It is a sign of courage, strength, and drive to seek therapy. We can start to enhance our relationships with others and our quality of life when we are driven to make changes. In order to improve clients' quality of life, I want to provide a secure and encouraging atmosphere where clients feel empowered to identify habits and pick up new, healthier coping mechanisms to help deal with traumas. I strive to raise self awareness while providing support and compassion so that clients can feel comfortable working through previous traumas, present stressors, and future concerns. ​

My name is Oksana Launer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CT and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in MA which allows me the opportunity to work with clients living in either or both states. A little about me- I received my MSW from the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work in 2008. I have over 14 years of experience working primarily with adolescents, adults, and families focusing on the multi-layered challenges of life. I am adept at supporting clients through life transitions and processing trauma and grief. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and work to create an inclusive environment in all client interactions.

As a Connecticut licensed clinical psychologist for more than 40 years, I practice individual, couples, and group therapy. In my doctoral and post-doctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Yale University, and throughout my years of clinical practice, I have had extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and meditation. I try to empathize with clients' feelings, and foster a safe, respectful, collaborative environment where in-depth exploration can occur. I can help you arrive at your own insights and conclusions. If you like, I can also offer suggestions to help translate insight into behavioral change.

Do you feel lonely, yet you aren’t alone? Another scroll through your social feed -and you ask why doesn't my life look like that? YOU look at your partner, thinking, “Where's our happily ever after?" You used to have so much fun together - talking and laughing nonstop-but now you haven’t had a meaningful conversation in weeks. What’s the point of talking? It’s just fight after fight. At first, it seemed like you had so much in common. Now, you're not sure you even KNOW who your partner is anymore. Romance, intimacy, fun, and trust are long gone. "Would it be better if we just called it quits?"

We all experience difficulties and carry those burdens throughout our lives. Whether that be a developmental issue in childhood, difficulties finding oneself in adolescence, struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic experience, or the pressures of adulthood, I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and make positive changes to their lives. And with support, safety, empowerment, and the right tools, I can help each client grow through the hardships they may encounter.

I believe everyone has a story to tell about their journey in life and what that experience has been like for them, but oftentimes, those stories go unheard or invalidated by others. This tends to open the door to developing negative distortions about ourselves; about who we are and our ability to succeed. Overtime, these distortions begin to overlap in other areas of our lives that not only affect our mood, motivation, self-esteem, and beliefs, but importantly, our relationships – our connection with family, friends and loved ones. Therapy provides the opportunity for you to share your story and begin the process of self-discovery.

Knowing ourselves is the beginning of all wisdom. Should you be searching for a safe and supportive environment to seek insight on yourself, your child and/or your family my practice of Insight Therapy and Assessment welcomes you. I offer an open, non judgmental yet analytical style that allows my clients to identify what's not working in their lives and replace with what better can. Therapeutic insight rooted in CBT/DBT/ACT foundations will allow for you to better deal with conflict, adapt through change, cope with misfortune, establish healthy relationships and ultimately improve upon and embrace the best version of yourself.
