About Rian
Rian Rahm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and family conflict, and addresses women's health concerns including pregnancy and postpartum. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.
Rian uses a cognitive-behavioral foundation to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered ideas to prioritize the person's perspective and on elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and coping skills. Treatment stays concrete and goal-oriented, with clear steps to practice between sessions.
Typical concerns she sees include relationship strain, parenting and blended family issues, communication problems, fertility and pregnancy challenges, workplace stress, grief, and addiction-related worries. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep or eating concerns, and questions about life purpose or young adult transitions.
Rian emphasizes collaborative planning: she helps set realistic goals and tracks progress together. Sessions include identifying specific behaviors to change, testing new ways of responding, and building practical skills for stress management and emotion regulation.
Her approach is straightforward and task-focused. People can expect clear explanations of methods, concrete homework to try between meetings, and ongoing review of what is helping and what needs adjustment.
How Cognitive Behavioral and Skills-Based Methods Work Online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and gives concrete exercises that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and using the client's priorities to shape each session, helping people steer therapy toward the issues that matter most. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for stress, relationship strain, and anger.Finding the best approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. Together the client and therapist will adjust strategies over time based on what is working and what needs change.
