About Rian
Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on practical, everyday concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD. Her tone is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at people looking for clear steps and supportive guidance.
Rian uses a client-centered way of working that starts by listening closely. She helps people identify what matters most to them and sets realistic goals they can reach.
Background and approach
Conversations are meant to be direct and useful, not full of jargon. Her training has a strong cognitive-behavioral foundation, so she often helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Rian has worked with many issues related to family stress, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She also supports people facing pregnancy and postpartum concerns, fertility-related stress, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose. Clients dealing with grief, trauma, or addiction-related problems can expect practical strategies alongside empathic support.
Sessions aim to be goal-focused and fit into a person's life. Rian encourages collaborative planning, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needed. Her approach emphasizes steady progress by practicing new skills between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rian blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and DBT-informed techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, valuing the person's perspective, and building a trusting working relationship to guide progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to help people test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that produce better outcomes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as goals change and new challenges appear, and it will be decided together rather than imposed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, practicing skills in the moment, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
