About Rian
Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and focuses on practical steps that improve daily life. Rian often helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict, and she has a special interest in women’s health around pregnancy and postpartum.

Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and progress is reviewed along the way.

Rian also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She addresses family-related topics such as blended family issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
Rian aims to make therapy a clear, down-to-earth process. She helps people identify realistic goals and learns practical skills to meet them. Her clinical background and decade of experience guide a steady, goal-oriented style without losing sight of the person’s perspective.
People who choose Rian can expect straightforward talk, shared decision making, and a focus on skills that fit everyday life. She welcomes questions and works with each person to find what helps them move forward.
How client-centered and skill-based approaches translate online
Rian blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques to help people manage symptoms and solve everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, understanding each person's experience, and building goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to teach practical skills for reducing anxiety and improving mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rian will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then choose which methods to use together. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's life and what they hope to change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through conversation, skills practice, and homework tailored to daily life.
