About Larry

Larry Adams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with nine years of counseling experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching and compassion fatigue. He also pays attention to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and fatherhood topics.

Larry describes a straightforward style. He listens and helps people name feelings that are hard to put into words. He uses practical conversation and evidence-informed approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

His work draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered approaches. Sessions typically include exploring emotions, clarifying values and testing small behavioral changes between meetings. He often discusses how past relationships influence current reactions.

Larry takes into account physical, emotional, social and spiritual factors when planning care. He combines approaches rather than sticking to one method. That can mean focusing on feelings in one session and practicing new skills in the next.

People who meet with him can expect clear conversation about goals and next steps. He encourages small, concrete changes and checks progress as therapy continues. To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapist’s online options.

How his approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep distress going. It can be useful when feelings are intense or when relationship and attachment themes keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and practical steps; it helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck and try small, value-driven actions between sessions.

Larry treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss what seems most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotional work, values-based exercises, or skill practice at any point in therapy.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people appreciate online work for fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time, or having a shorter check-in when needed. Online meetings can make it easier to maintain regular contact and try in-the-moment skills between sessions, but confirm how sessions are scheduled and billed through the platform before you begin.
