Rian Rahm, LPC - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Rian

Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on ten years of clinical work to support people through stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. She uses clear, practical tools and focuses on building a strong working relationship. Rian emphasizes meeting each person where they are and setting realistic goals together.

She practices in Wisconsin and offers services in English. Rian blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral strategies to address everyday problems.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, develop new coping skills, and try small changes that add up. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. Family and parenting issues are a common focus.

Rian works through communication struggles, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce concerns by helping people clarify priorities and practice new interaction patterns. She also addresses related topics such as fertility, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and family of origin issues. Rian has particular experience supporting women's health topics, workplace stress, and challenges that follow big life transitions.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She lays out concrete steps, checks in on progress, and adjusts plans based on what is working. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. It helps people feel heard and decide the goals they want to work on together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It is useful when stress or strong feelings get in the way of daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That makes sessions feel personalized and goal-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy days, check in between meetings, or use written exchanges when that feels easier. Together these options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other commitments.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
