About Rian
Rian Rahm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and women's health issues including pregnancy and postpartum. Rian also helps people facing relationship strain, workplace stress, grief, and the life shifts that often come in early adulthood.
Rian draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test more useful ways of coping. She also uses client-centered principles to build a collaborative relationship and DBT strategies when emotion regulation or intense reactions are getting in the way. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goal-setting rather than abstract theory.
Clients can expect conversations that identify where they are now and what small changes might improve day-to-day functioning. Rian emphasizes realistic, step-by-step goals. She prioritizes the working relationship and checks in about progress along the way.
Her background includes a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and a decade of direct work with adults facing mood concerns, trauma, and family issues. This experience informs both short-term coping plans and longer-term work on patterns that keep problems happening.
Rian commonly helps people who are navigating major life changes - new jobs, relationship shifts, becoming a parent, or feeling unsettled after school. Her approach suits those who want practical tools and a collaborative therapist to test what actually helps.
How Rian’s approaches work in online sessions
Rian uses client-centered work to build a collaborative relationship and cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping the work around what the person says matters most. CBT involves identifying patterns of thought and trying small behavioral experiments to test if those thoughts hold up.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills are practical tools for stress, intense mood swings, and relationship conflict. The therapist and client work together to pick which methods fit the immediate goals and daily life demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rian will discuss options and help decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a client-centered focus makes most sense for the issue. That choice can change as needs and goals evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study, shifts, or busy weeks. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using exercises and worksheets during or between meetings to practice new skills.
