About Larry

Dr. Larry Andrews is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Dakota with 35 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with anger as well as relationship concerns, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life stresses. He offers straightforward support for everyday problems like work pressure, parenting strain, and coping with big life changes.

He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that feed frustration and resentment. Sessions tend to be practical and talk-focused, with attention to real situations that trigger strong emotions.

Dr. Andrews works with people dealing with addictions including process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling. He also addresses issues like infidelity, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career stress, and mood disorders including bipolar and depression. His approach mixes patient listening with strategies to handle moments of anger and reduce ongoing tension.

People who come for help can expect clear, direct conversations about what causes their anger and what helps it ease. He encourages small, testable changes between sessions and discusses what did and did not work. That steady, step-by-step emphasis guides much of the practical work.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. Online sessions using this approach let the counselor hear the client’s concerns and respond in a way that clarifies feelings and priorities. This can help when anger comes from relationship problems or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work CBT is used to notice triggers, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice different reactions between sessions. That makes it useful for anger tied to stress, anxiety, and recurring patterns of behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. Sessions can shift over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
