About Larry

Larry Eubanks is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. He practices in Alabama and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and a wide range of life changes.

He also addresses family and parenting concerns alongside related problems like communication and caregiver stress. Larry begins by meeting each person where they are. He listens first, then helps name and process the emotions that feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

He teaches coping skills that people can use between sessions. The work is straightforward and skills-based so progress is easier to notice. His clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices.

These methods are used to reduce unhelpful thoughts, build distress tolerance, and strengthen present-moment focus. Techniques are chosen to match the needs and pace of the person in front of him. Earlier in his career he worked with families at a county human resources department on abuse and neglect issues.

Since 2011 he has provided care in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. That experience informs how he supports people facing safety, trauma, or crisis-related concerns. Sessions can include skill practice, emotion regulation tools, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.

Larry offers flexible formats to fit busy schedules. He aims to help people leave sessions with clear steps to try at home.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action despite difficult feelings. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase presence during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. Larry works collaboratively to find methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and pace. He mixes skills and exercises from these approaches so treatment is practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options help people meet around work, caregiving, or transportation limits and allow regular skill practice between live meetings. The focus remains on clear, usable tools and steady progress no matter the format.

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.

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.
