About Larry
Larry Blair is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 38 years of professional experience in Minnesota. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. He works in a calm, straightforward way and values the strengths people bring to therapy.
He helps people who have faced trauma and abuse to find steady ground and rebuild confidence. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of abandonment, and persistent low self-esteem.
How Larry works
Sessions address practical problems such as communication breakdowns, workplace strain, and money-related stress. Larry draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and take action. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify goals and build momentum.
He explains tools clearly and practices them together with clients during sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative. He treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them use their existing strengths.
The focus is on small steps that add up to real change, not on jargon or tests. Many people come for help with mood disorders, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or challenges around divorce and separation. Larry combines practical problem solving with attention to values and coping skills so clients can feel more steady day to day.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises to clarify values and at-home practices to build new habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, with practical homework that can be reviewed in video or messaging sessions to track progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Larry will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines and recommend techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative process may mix ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused strategies depending on the situation.
Online formats offer flexibility for different moments. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, quick coaching, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving between sessions.
