Glad you stopped by! I'm Larry Goble, a licensed Clinical Social Worker. Taking the step to talk to a therapist is not easy. You are showing courage and determination to explore what it might be like. In working with folks who are feeling stuck, anxious, maybe sad and confused, I find using a practical and sometimes humorous approach helps to learn and develop specific ways to counter stress, manage thoughts and feelings that can overwhelm you, and to increase self-confidence.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We start with understanding what has happened that led you to decide to contact us now. We look at what pushes and pulls you face such as family, work, relationships, spirituality, medical issues, and physical health. We will work as a team in a safe, supportive environment. We begin to summarize what we've talked about identifying what issues we start to work on. A plan of how we move forward is discussed and we agree to our first plan of action. To continue learning and growing, we plan together activities that will add to what you have been learning. What is then important is that weus decision on specific steps to practice, think about, and see how those help.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I’m practical and humorous blending several therapeutic approaches to fit your situation that feels right and understandable to you. I'm direct and transparent, recommending concrete steps and activities for you to achieve your goals. We do this in session and with homework to carry on the work between sessions.
