Larry Ivery, LPC

Larry Ivery, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with 28 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and related concerns such as anger, grief, and intimacy issues. He also helps people managing parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, and the practical fallout from separation or infidelity.

Larry uses straightforward talk therapy alongside specific methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR to address painful memories and recurring patterns. He also draws on client-centered and motivational approaches to support people who want to make concrete changes. Sessions aim to pin down what is getting in the way day to day and then try strategies that fit the person’s life.

He offers counseling informed by a range of clinical approaches and can include group work when that fits the issue. Larry can also provide counseling from a Christian worldview for clients who prefer that perspective. His goal with clients is to clarify priorities, reduce harmful cycles, and build practical skills for managing strong feelings.

In session he listens for the patterns behind repeated reactions and helps clients practice alternative responses. He talks through skills for handling workplace frustration, family conflict, and impulses tied to addiction or grief. He encourages small, testable changes rather than grand promises.

People who want direct, experience-based work on anger and related problems will find a steady, practical approach that focuses on real-life results over theory.
