About Larry
Larry Laehn is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience based in Wisconsin. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and sleep difficulties.

He uses a client-centered attitude to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. Sessions often include goal-focused tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward it.
Larry's background includes work in vocational rehabilitation and community mental health. That experience shaped his interest in workplace challenges, career concerns, and how illness or aging affects daily life. He also supports people facing caregiving, hospice, and end-of-life issues.
In sessions he talks through concrete strategies for coping, sleep routines, and handling intense emotions. He helps people explore values, repair communication problems, and address addictive behaviors. The work is practical and paced to each person's readiness.
People who prefer straightforward, steady guidance tend to do well with his style. He welcomes questions and works collaboratively to set realistic steps. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule time with him.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and routines; it can be helpful for sleep problems, depression, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which is useful when anger, relationship tensions, or addictive urges are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, life demands, and what feels most useful in session. That plan can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Session logistics vary by therapist and platform, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when a quick review is needed. Some people prefer video to practice skills and watch reactions, while others appreciate shorter phone or audio check-ins when bandwidth or a quieter setting is required. The focus is on practical ways to use therapy tools in everyday life rather than on a specific delivery method.
