About Larry
Larry Blair is a Minnesota LICSW with 38 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose.
He frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions he listens for practical patterns and helps people try small changes that make daily life more manageable. He encourages direct, focused conversations about what is getting in the way right now.
His approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He also uses mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person's goals. These methods are used to address mood problems, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, workplace issues, and money or financial stress.
Larry aims to help people reduce overwhelm and regain clearer choices about next steps. He works through concrete skills, perspective shifts, and short-term goals rather than vague promises. People who feel stuck after a life change - in work, relationships, or health - will find a practical, straightforward style.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in Minnesota. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin the work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, values-based actions toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Mindfulness therapy offers attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean using ACT strategies for values-based decision making, CBT worksheets for behavior change, or mindfulness exercises to reduce stress. The plan can shift as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to continue care after a move. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to clarify the available online formats and how they can fit into everyday life.
