About Larry
Dr. Larry Andrews connects with people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, mood challenges, and major life changes. He offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence so clients can talk plainly about hard things.
His style aims to make space for honest conversation and gradual change. Seeking help can feel risky, and he focuses on guiding that first step with calm support. He uses approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and practical thinking.
Background and approach
That means listening first, then working together to try new ways of responding to problems. He often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what matters day to day.
Across a long career, Dr. Andrews has supported people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and eating concerns. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, infidelity, parenting struggles, and anger.
His work includes helping with career stress and self-esteem challenges as well. Dr. Andrews holds an LPC license in South Dakota, and he brings decades of experience to his practice.
He aims to create an open atmosphere where feelings can be named without blame. When appropriate, he combines client-centered listening with practical CBT tools to help clients move toward clearer choices. He provides sessions in English through a range of online formats.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Dr. Andrews uses client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s story. That approach focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients feel heard. It often helps when someone needs a calm place to sort through feelings and decide what matters.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT. CBT looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and then teaches practical steps to change those patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain addiction-related behaviors by giving clear skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will work with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative process means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
Online therapy lets clients connect in different ways: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets complicated. The formats also let the therapist use CBT exercises and client-centered conversations in ways that suit each person’s routine and preferences.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
