Rian Rahm , LPC

Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance concerns. She also supports people facing family conflict, relationship challenges, and parenting strains. Rian has a special interest in women's issues, including pregnancy and postpartum concerns.

Rian's work starts by meeting each person where they are. She listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals to work toward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the client needs right now.

Her training was grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, and she continues to use CBT tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the relationship and the client's own priorities.

In sessions she focuses on skills you can try between meetings, like emotion regulation, problem-solving, and communication techniques. The aim is to build routines and responses that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Rian offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are provided in English and are scheduled to fit each client's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rian uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their goals and next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, change behavior patterns, and manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rian will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist set goals together and adjust the plan over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter session format fits into a workday. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to use therapy tools between meetings.
