About Larry
Dr. Larry Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Dakota with 35 years of counseling experience. He focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what is most worrying them and start making practical changes. In sessions he keeps the work straightforward and focused. He listens first and then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior.
Background and approach
From there he supports simple steps that can reduce anxiety, improve communication, or ease the impact of grief and loss. Dr. Andrews blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
That means he centers the client's experience while also using specific strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Those approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and problems with self-esteem or parenting demands. He has particular experience addressing infidelity and process addictions such as gambling, exercise, or pornography.
He also works with issues tied to career decisions, bipolar mood concerns, and eating struggles. Sessions emphasize practical skills and moments of reflection to build steady progress. People who choose him typically want clear, compassionate guidance and tools they can use between sessions.
He supports people as they try new ways of coping, set small goals, and track what helps them feel more in control.
Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits
Dr. Andrews combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people handle anxiety and life stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a respectful, accepting atmosphere to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He listens to what matters most and then adjusts methods to match goals and daily life. Together they choose which tools to try and review what helps between sessions so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter real-time check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or goal tracking. These options help fit counseling into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
