About Larry
Larry Laehn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. He also helps with grief, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
He combines straightforward, person-centered talking with practical tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches. Sessions focus on what a person is trying to change and clear steps to try between meetings. Work can include values-based planning, coping skills for strong emotions, and strategies to handle cravings or relapse triggers.
Laehn's background includes vocational rehabilitation and community mental health. That experience informs his focus on workplace issues, social dynamics, and everyday functioning. He often helps people clarify what matters next after a job change, health event, or loss.
In conversations he pays attention to how thoughts, choices, and habits affect daily life. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used alongside cognitive-behavioral tools when helpful. Existential ideas also appear when questions about meaning and life purpose come up.
Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward, with homework or exercises people can try between meetings. Larry works in English and practises in Wisconsin. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps when someone feels stuck after a life change or wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change those patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, stress, and addiction triggers.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what works. That process helps prioritize whether values work, thought-changing exercises, or emotion-regulation skills will be most helpful in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten check-ins when needed, or use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in daily life rather than on a specific technology or platform.
