About Rian
Rian Rahm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. Rian also supports people dealing with pregnancy and postpartum concerns and other women’s health issues.
Rian uses approaches rooted in cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside client-centered principles. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps that fit a client’s day-to-day life. Sessions include talking through patterns, trying new coping skills, and checking what works in real situations.
Blended family issues, communication problems, and divorce or separation are among the areas she lists as additional focuses. This means she can help individuals sort through role changes, loyalty concerns, and the practical stress of merging households. Work on boundaries, routines, and co-parenting communication is presented as clear tasks rather than abstract theory.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set realistic goals and reviews progress along the way. Expect straightforward discussion, homework-like practice between sessions, and adjustments based on what is helpful.
Rian’s background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a decade of providing counseling services. Her training emphasized cognitive-behavioral work, and she integrates that with client-centered methods and elements of DBT when skill-based coping is needed.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It involves the therapist reflecting what matters to the client and helping them set their own goals, which can be useful when sorting out roles in a blended household.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical techniques for anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns common in blended family life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can help with conflict, strong reactions, or ongoing stress while merging households.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if a different mix of techniques seems more useful.
