About Rian
Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who draws on ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. She also supports women through pregnancy, postpartum, and other women’s health concerns.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away. Rian blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
She prioritizes a respectful, down-to-earth relationship where clients set the pace and goals. Expect collaborative goal-setting and clear steps you can try between sessions. In addition to core concerns like stress, grief, and self-esteem, she works with issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue.
There is also experience helping clients with blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. Rian pays attention to how life transitions affect day-to-day functioning. Her approach is practical and humane.
She listens first to understand what matters to each person, then uses tools from CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. That may include skill practice for managing strong emotions or changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Rian offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.
Appointments follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she conducts sessions in English for people located in Wisconsin.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It gives practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and other everyday struggles through short exercises and homework.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for stress, anger, and coping when life feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend techniques to try first. Plans can change as people learn what helps them most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for different days and needs. Video sessions work well for focused conversations, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect on progress between conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing tools between sessions.
