About Larry

Larry Laehn is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 30 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He aims to make therapy direct and understandable so people can start using what they learn right away. He uses an approach that centers the client’s experience.

Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps to manage symptoms and regain control. He helps people talk through grief, sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem, and he offers coaching for career and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Laehn draws on a mix of therapeutic styles to fit each person’s needs. That can include exploring meaning and values, learning skills to manage thoughts and behaviors, or building everyday coping tools. He works with issues tied to chronic illness, cancer, aging, and end-of-life concerns as well as substance and behavioral addictions.

His background includes vocational rehabilitation and community mental health, which informs a practical, problem-solving stance in sessions. People looking for help with communication problems, codependency, or caregiving strain will find an emphasis on realistic steps and steady support. Sessions are offered in English and delivered in multiple formats like video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short questionnaire to match needs and then scheduling a session that fits the client’s life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Existential therapy looks at meaning, values, and personal choice. It helps people who feel empty, aimless, or stuck make clearer decisions about what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept hard feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s pace and priorities guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus together rather than committing to one fixed plan on day one.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity of care across distance.
