About Larry
Larry Laehn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the strain that comes with big life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady support so people can manage day-to-day challenges more clearly.
He blends a client-centered stance with evidence-informed techniques. That means conversations start with what matters to the person and then add hands-on strategies for coping, thinking patterns, and emotion regulation. Expect plain language, real-world tools, and a steady, respectful tone in sessions.
Laehn's background includes vocational rehabilitation and community mental health work. He has helped people navigate workplace stress, communication problems, career shifts, grief, and caregiving challenges. He also supports those dealing with chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and codependency issues.
Therapy often focuses on building skills for managing anger, sleep disruption, and cravings, as well as strengthening self-esteem and life purpose. Techniques come from approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment principles, and mindfulness and dialectical strategies adapted to each person.
People who reach out can expect a straightforward process: identify immediate concerns, try practical exercises between sessions, and track small changes over time. The aim is clearer choices, better coping, and stronger day-to-day functioning rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help people who feel stuck or uncertain about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. These approaches are often paired with client-centered listening that keeps the person's goals front and center.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying different exercises and adjusting pacing based on what is most helpful.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because they can schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or attend from a location that offers quieter surroundings. Online work also supports steady homework between sessions and flexible scheduling to match work or caregiving demands.
