About Larry
Rev. Larry Payne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience as a licensed counselor. He centers therapy on clear, practical steps and stays at the client's pace.
He aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and relationship strain find steadier ground. He uses a mix of approaches that match the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Focused methods are common tools in his work.
How Larry works
He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems when those fit the situation. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about thoughts, behaviors, and small changes that add up. He pays attention to spiritual concerns when they matter to the person seeking help.
That can include faith perspectives and how those beliefs affect coping and hope. He has particular experience helping people cope with caregiver stress, aging-related concerns, end-of-life issues, and the strain that follows disasters or separation. He also addresses common life crossroads such as midlife questions, career changes, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions can involve learning new skills, practicing different ways of thinking, and setting short-term goals to test what helps. The emphasis is on usable strategies that improve day-to-day functioning and move people toward clearer purpose and healing.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes that leave people unsure about direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence one another and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief reactions, and rebuilding routines after trauma.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic events and reducing their emotional hold through structured techniques tailored to the person’s needs. It aims to lessen the impact of traumatic memories and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed model. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent within busy lives.
