About Larry
Dr. Larry Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with 35 years of experience. He works with adults on anger and related concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, and changes at work or home. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at helping people handle moments when they snap, hold resentment, or struggle with another person's temper.
He uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's immediate concerns. That means listening first, then helping people find clearer ways to express themselves. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thought patterns and behaviors and helps people try different responses.
In practice he talks through what's happening in day-to-day life. People work on specific situations - a heated conversation, a mounting frustration at work, or patterns that keep repeating. He offers straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and to rebuild trust after conflict.
Dr. Andrews has helped people with a broad range of issues that often overlap with anger. These include addictions and process addictions, intimacy and infidelity concerns, parenting stress, eating problems, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, and career pressures. He integrates problem-solving and skills training where helpful.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and prioritizing what the client brings to the room. It helps people feel heard and helps identify the everyday moments that trigger anger, so practical responses can be tried. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises and behavioral experiments to practice different reactions to stress, anger, or cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Andrews will discuss goals and preferences with each person and jointly decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning helps shape session tasks and homework that fit real life, like rehearsing a different response to a heated text or testing a short coping routine at work.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking.

Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt techniques for remote meetings so practical tools can be introduced, practiced, and reviewed in follow-ups.
