About Larry
He spent the first part of his career supporting families facing abuse and neglect at a county human resources department. Since 2011, he has worked across inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. That background shaped a practical approach that centers on what a person is facing now.
Larry meets people where they are and helps them name and process emotions. He teaches coping skills that can be used day to day. His work includes strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered approaches, and mindfulness practices.
Clients can expect straightforward, skills-focused sessions that emphasize immediate strategies and longer-term patterns. He also has experience with issues such as addiction, grief, trauma, chronic illness and caregiver stress. He aims to adapt his work to each person’s circumstances rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.
His background includes family-focused work, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, and support for aging and chronic health problems. People who want a practical, experience-informed approach to everyday struggles may find his style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept painful thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for stress, insomnia, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during hard moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits current needs rather than following a single method.
Confirm the session formats directly before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also makes it possible to keep using strategies between visits and to practice skills in real-life settings. Licensed therapists aim to tailor sessions so people can use what they learn in everyday moments.
