About Rian
Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns.
She also pays particular attention to women's health, including pregnancy and postpartum challenges. Rian uses a client-centered stance that starts where each person is. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals together.
How Rian works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy influences much of her work, so sessions often include straightforward tools to change thoughts and daily habits. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. That can mean practicing breathing and grounding techniques or trying new ways of communicating.
Rian tailors these methods to what fits for each person and situation. Typical concerns she addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, sleep and eating disruptions, addiction, ADHD, and workplace problems. She also supports people navigating life transitions, fertility questions, blended family dynamics, and women's health issues.
Rian offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People meet her where they feel most comfortable and she helps them pick approaches that match their goals. To get started she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports choices that feel right for them. This approach helps with many concerns like stress, grief, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives simple tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts and habits. It often includes short exercises and behavior changes to try between sessions, which fit well into online formats when people want homework or quick check-ins. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and practical coping skills. That can be useful for intense moods, relationship communication, and learning step-by-step skills together.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easy access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates or get brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit regular care into a busy life.
