About Larry

Larry Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults around stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and questions about life purpose. He also addresses issues tied to relationships, parenting, addictions, trauma, and career concerns.

He focuses on helping boys and men find repair and hope after difficult experiences. Sessions emphasize practical conversation and clear steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect straightforward discussion about what is getting in the way and what small changes might help.

Larry draws from several recognized approaches to shape sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on close relationships and emotional responses.

He describes his method as eclectic, looking at physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors when they matter. That means Larry will ask about daily routines, family history, and roles at work and home, then use tools from different approaches to try to address the most pressing problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused on immediate concerns like sleep problems, anger, or difficulty concentrating. For people wrestling with grief, abandonment, or fatherhood issues, conversations center on concrete steps and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used when someone feels stuck, unsure of purpose, or overwhelmed by anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and anger because it breaks issues down into concrete patterns to change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and see what fits an individual's goals and preferences. That means sessions may use ACT exercises one week and CBT skill practice the next, with regular check-ins about what is helping.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises for video or phone so the same practical work on values, thinking patterns, and relationship skills can continue when meeting remotely.
