Rian Rahm

Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She has worked in counseling for 10 years and focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. Rian pays attention to what a person needs right now and meets them where they are.

Rian often uses cognitive-behavioral ideas she learned during her master's in clinical mental health counseling. She also works from a client-centered stance, which means sessions focus on the person’s goals and experience. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her toolkit when people need help with emotion regulation and coping strategies.

In sessions, she helps people set realistic goals and practice concrete steps between meetings. That might include thinking skills to change unhelpful patterns, grounding and emotion skills for intense moments, or communication strategies for family and relationship problems. She also supports women's health concerns such as pregnancy and postpartum struggles.

Rian has experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. She also helps with blended family issues, divorce and separation, workplace stress, and finding life purpose.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims for practical progress people can feel in daily life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with her.

How Rian’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. Online conversations still center the client's goals and experience, with the therapist following the person's lead and reflecting back what they hear.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. Online work can include practicing thought records, behavior experiments, and short between-session exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions. Skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can be taught and rehearsed during remote sessions to help with anger, impulsive behavior, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This may mean mixing strategies over time and checking in to see what feels helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a regular week. Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments, use short check-ins when needed, and practice skills between meetings so therapy fits into everyday life.
