About Larry
Early in his career he worked with families involved in child welfare for 12 years. Since 2011 he has practiced in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. That background shaped a practical approach to everyday problems and crisis situations.
In sessions he aims to meet people where they are and help them name and process emotions. He teaches coping skills that can be applied between meetings. He uses methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Larry emphasizes flexibility and practical help. He describes treatment as collaborative work to build skills and find clearer ways to move forward. He is comfortable working with concerns related to family and relationship stress, trauma and abuse, substance issues, and life transitions.
People looking to begin can expect straightforward, skill-focused sessions that combine emotional processing with hands-on strategies. He draws on long experience in human services and mental health to tailor help to each person’s situation.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and guidance to support self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larry will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs an option that uses less bandwidth. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and preferences.
