Rian Rahm

Rian Rahm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. She has a particular interest in women's health concerns, including pregnancy and postpartum challenges.

Rian aims to meet clients where they are and focus on what they need most to improve daily life. She emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship and works with clients in a collaborative way to set realistic goals. Her background is grounded in cognitive approaches and she uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with skills-based work. That means people can expect attentive listening alongside strategies for managing stress, mood, and difficult reactions. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed.

Rian has supported people dealing with grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, workplace stress, and identity issues including LGBT matters. She also addresses blended family tensions, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.

Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and better daily routines. She invites clients to work together on coping skills, problem solving, and small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what matters most in their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change routines that get in the way of daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. It can be useful for intense mood swings, anger, or when stress feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. This helps you match timing and style to your daily life. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins that keep momentum between longer sessions.
