About Larry
Larry Powell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He brings 13 years of clinical experience to conversations about focus, mood, eating, intimacy, and traumatic stress. He aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and clear.
Larry uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of daily life. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that increase stress or decrease motivation.
Background and approach
From there he works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to build practical skills that fit day-to-day routines. His work often covers problems with attention and focus, struggles with depression or disordered eating, and challenges rooted in past abuse or trauma. He also addresses intimacy-related concerns and related issues such as jealousy or sex addiction.
Larry adapts the pace and focus of sessions to match each person's priorities and comfort level. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common thread in his approach. That means helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors to reduce distress.
Sessions can include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and straightforward homework to reinforce progress between meetings. Larry emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a practical plan. He supports people who want clearer focus, better mood management, and healthier relationships.
The work is collaborative and focused on making useful changes that last.
Online CBT and Practical Strategies for Attention and Trauma
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for managing depression, addressing patterns that come from trauma, and improving focus by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.In sessions that draw on CBT, the work typically includes setting clear goals, practicing new skills, and trying short real-world experiments between meetings. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelm and build steady improvements in mood, attention, and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor the plan accordingly. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and focused on real-life results.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can suit brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
