About Larry
Larry Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD-related concentration and memory issues, eating difficulties, and depression. He also addresses topics like fatherhood issues, jealousy, sex addiction, antisocial personality traits, and concerns common in young adulthood.
Larry frames conversations around what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. He listens for patterns that make daily life harder, like trouble concentrating, relationship conflict, or repetitive thoughts tied to past harm.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. That can mean learning new ways to test unhelpful thoughts, building small routines that improve focus, or practicing different responses in close relationships. Sessions are straightforward and skills-based when those approaches fit.
Larry aims to adapt his work to the pace a person can manage. He helps set realistic, short-term goals and checks progress each session. For people in their late teens and twenties he often addresses the pressure of leaving home, school-to-work transitions, money stress, and comparing oneself to peers.
When someone is ready to begin, he asks about current concerns and what a successful outcome would look like. That helps shape an initial plan and next steps.
How CBT informs online sessions
CBT helps people notice and change the thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In brief, it teaches specific skills for testing unhelpful thoughts, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and building routines that improve focus and mood. This approach can be useful for symptoms of depression, eating concerns, ADHD-related concentration difficulties, and reactions tied to trauma.The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try. That means discussing goals, testing approaches over a few sessions, and adjusting what is used based on what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to match a client's needs and preferences.
