About Larry
Larry Laehn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 30 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, sleep problems, relationship issues, career concerns, and coping with life changes. He also addresses compassion fatigue and coaching for practical challenges.
He uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize concrete steps clients can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that maintain distress and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and next actions.
His background includes work in vocational rehabilitation and community mental health settings. That experience informs a focus on work-related stress and social dynamics. He helps clients break problems down into manageable pieces and practice new responses in daily life.
Larry combines client-centered listening with structured exercises from CBT and DBT when useful. He explains techniques plainly and checks that clients can use them outside sessions. He also brings existential ideas into conversation about purpose and meaning when clients raise those concerns.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented work are likely to find his style useful. He asks questions, offers concrete tools, and tracks progress over time. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to set practical, achievable goals.
How his approaches translate to online work
He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT focuses on clear steps - like tracking moods, testing beliefs, and practicing new skills - which can be done between sessions to measure change.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people choose values-based actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. ACT uses exercises that help clients notice internal experiences and commit to practical next steps. Client-Centered Therapy provides a conversational frame where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can shape goals at their own pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and he may combine techniques across approaches based on progress and preference.

These practical benefits often make it simpler to try techniques between meetings and keep momentum on agreed goals.
