About Rian
Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a wide range of family and life concerns. Rian often works with women's health issues, including pregnancy and postpartum, and supports people navigating parenting challenges.
She uses practical, goal-oriented methods rooted in cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
The therapeutic relationship is central to how she helps people move forward. Rian draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what change looks like for them.
She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping when needed. Over the past decade she has worked with concerns such as addiction, grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or workplace stress. She addresses blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges stemming from family of origin.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to help people find practical steps they can use between sessions. Rian invites clients to set a pace that works for them and to shape therapy around real life needs.

Therapeutic approaches offered online and what they do
Rian uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can explore what matters to them and choose changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rian will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try strategies that match their needs and preferences. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan when needed so progress feels realistic and manageable.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and movement-based exercises, while phone work can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for short check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy family and work lives.
