About Larry
Larry Ivery, LPC offers calm, straightforward care for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, or depression. He aims to create an approachable space where someone can talk honestly about stress, trauma, relationship strain, or substance concerns. Sessions focus on the everyday problems that make life harder and on practical steps to manage them.
Larry draws on 28 years of counseling experience in Tennessee. He uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and client-centered work.
Background and approach
He also offers counseling from a Christian worldview for those who prefer it. In sessions he prioritizes building a working relationship and tailoring goals to what matters most to the client. That can mean short-term problem solving, addressing past trauma, or working through ongoing patterns like anger, impulsivity, or substance use.
He also leads group counseling when that format fits a person’s needs. People who reach out can expect clear, direct discussion and tools to use between meetings. Larry helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and set achievable steps forward.
He explains techniques plainly and adjusts methods to each person’s pace. To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist scheduling.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps when people need a space to sort feelings about anger, grief, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses concrete exercises and skills to change patterns like angry reactions, avoidance, or anxious thinking. CBT is useful for stress, panic, social anxiety, and mood concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a method used to address traumatic memories and their lasting effects. It can help reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events and is often applied when trauma or abuse is part of a person's story.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. This collaborative process may combine approaches or shift over time as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online counseling helps fit therapy into a busy life, such as making it easier to schedule during the day, saving travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about group counseling and individual options when you set up your first appointment to match the format to your needs.
