Brian Larimer, LPC

Approaches and online options that fit parenting challenges

Brian relies on Reality Therapy to help people focus on present choices and actions. This approach emphasizes taking responsibility for what you can control and developing clear, practical steps to change behavior. It can be useful when communication patterns or day-to-day routines feel stuck.

He also uses Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which centers on identifying small, achievable goals and building on what already works. Sessions often focus on brief steps you can try between meetings and on tracking small improvements over time. This approach suits parents looking for targeted changes without long-term commitment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian works with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and comfort level. He will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not convenient. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit conversations into busy family routines while keeping progress steady.
