About Larry

Larry Adams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, parenting strains, and related concerns. He offers straightforward support for issues like depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addiction, ADHD, and problems at work. Larry emphasizes practical steps and hope for men and boys who need healing and guidance.

Larry brings nine years of counseling experience and a focus on moving from stuck patterns to clearer choices.

Background and approach

He listens without judgement and helps clients name what matters to them. Sessions aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable. His background combines training in several therapy approaches.

He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Larry also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people act in line with their values even when feelings are hard.

Client-centered techniques guide the pace of work so each person sets the agenda. Emotion-focused ideas help when strong emotions need to be understood and processed. In practice he blends approaches to fit the person in front of him rather than following a strict protocol.

Sessions may include talking, practical exercises, and skills to try between meetings. He is based in Georgia and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where avoiding feelings has become a pattern.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current responses to others. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more supported ways of relating. That perspective can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, fatherhood concerns, and family of origin problems.

Finding the right method is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and combine ACT, attachment ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, or emotion-focused work as needed. The plan can shift as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other obligations and let people practice skills in their everyday settings. Many clients find that shorter messaging contacts and scheduled video or phone sessions together keep momentum between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
