About Larry

Larry Ivery is a Licensed Practicing Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. He is approachable and focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship to help people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and sexual abuse. He adapts his style to each person so conversations feel practical and respectful.

He uses several evidence-informed approaches and picks methods to match a person's needs. Sessions often focus on clear goals and small steps.

Background and approach

He also offers group counseling when that is a good fit for someone’s situation. Larry can include faith-based perspectives for clients who want counseling from a Christian worldview. He combines that with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution-Focused work, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy as appropriate.

This means sessions can include talking through patterns, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new responses. People looking for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addictions, anger, or self-esteem concerns will find a practical approach focused on real-life changes. He also works with issues like adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, infidelity, and post-traumatic stress when relevant.

Larry aims to tailor treatment to each person’s history and goals. He listens for what matters most, then suggests steps to move forward. Prospective clients should use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the matching and scheduling process.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches shape online work

Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try new, more helpful stories. This approach can be useful for identity questions, trauma recovery, and shifting long-held patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his approach and focuses on listening carefully and following what each person brings to the room. That helps people feel heard and make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. If an approach doesn’t fit, it can be adjusted so sessions stay useful and relevant to daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to join group counseling without leaving home. The therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling and the kind of session that meets each person’s needs.
