Rian Rahm , LPC

Rian Rahm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with a decade of clinical experience after earning a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and a range of relationship and life-transition concerns. Her practice includes focused support for women’s health topics such as pregnancy and postpartum, as well as issues related to grief, addiction, self-esteem, and parenting.

Rian emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered approach that begins by meeting each client where they are and identifying practical goals to improve overall quality of life. Her training was grounded in cognitive-behavioral methods, which she continues to use alongside client-centered principles and skills-based strategies to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation. She values the therapeutic relationship as a primary driver of progress and works with clients to set realistic, measurable steps toward their goals.

Available to adults navigating individual, family, and relationship challenges, Rian aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented space where clients can explore coping skills, process difficult experiences, and build sustainable strategies for daily life. She is accepting new clients in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rian uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps people who need a compassionate listening environment to explore values, identity, and relationships. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, evidence-informed method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. When emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offer concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rian collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Rian can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life while working with a licensed professional.
