About Rian
Rian uses practical, evidence-based tools rooted in cognitive-behavioral ideas learned during her clinical training. She pairs those tools with a client-centered attitude that starts by meeting people where they are. Together they set realistic goals and break them into manageable steps.
She helps people facing a wide range of concerns, from substance use and bipolar symptoms to grief, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Communication problems, blended family challenges, and fertility worries are also within her focus areas. She approaches these topics with clear planning and steady support.
In sessions she aims to create simple action plans that people can try between meetings. That might include practicing coping skills, adjusting unhelpful thoughts, or rehearsing new ways to communicate with others. Progress is measured by concrete changes the person notices in day-to-day life.
Rian practices in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to pick goals that matter to them. To start, the site matching process helps connect someone and schedule an initial appointment based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Rian uses client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making space for each person’s goals, which helps when people need support sorting priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as having meetings during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also often allows for shorter check-ins when only a quick update is needed, or for using worksheets and skill practice between sessions. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and goals so sessions support your everyday routine.
