I'm Larry Letich, individual and couples counselor and psychotherapist and adult ADHD specialist in Frederick, Md. - and now, by telehealth! In my work with couples, I help couples in distress with the most well-researched, proven effective therapy for helping couples get out of the bad patterns they are in and reconnect to each other. It's called "Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, " but don't worry - it works for both women and men.
For individuals, I offer counseling and psychotherapy to those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship and work issues, adult ADHD, life transitions, trauma, creative blocks and addictions/compulsions. In individual therapy, I help you get past thinking about what you "should" do and what's "wrong" with you, and instead discover, at your own pace, what you truly need, want, think, and feel - and from there, how to use that inner knowledge to make your life what you want it to be.
This, I am convinced, is the quickest and surest path to having the good, emotionally satisfying life you want - and deserve.

When it's HARD to make sense of things, HARD to get through the day, HARD to feel good about yourself or your life.
Life events, or your emotions, or both, may feel like they've spun out of control.
Extremely distressing emotions like anxiety, depression, rage or intense grief may have become a part of your daily life.
Or perhaps you're feeling "stuck, " lost and off-track in your life, maybe even heading in the wrong direction.
You have no clue how to move forward again, or else the actions you need and want to take feel about as possible as flying to the moon.

Full disclosure: I'm a worrier.
Sometimes I get pretty anxious.
When I feel that way, people who tell me that it is "wrong" for me to feel the way I do strike me as rather.smug.
It's not that I totally disagree with them.
It's that I want to say, Do you think I WANT to feel this anxious?
Do you think I WANT to worry this much?
All you're doing is making me feel like an idiot!
And besides, what makes YOU so doggone sure that I shouldn't worry?
When anxiety gets big enough, it can definitely reduce your quality of life.

Whether you're great at these things or terrible, or somewhere in between, you know these are the yardsticks by which the world - and you yourself - measure your manhood.
For one thing, they don't help you understand yourself, and what's really going on inside you.
They also don't give you much guidance in understanding or dealing with any problems that arise between you and a person you love.
Finally, they don't give you much to fall back on if something goes wrong and - even though Heaven knows you're really trying - you can't keep the whole show going anymore.

You have a passion to express yourself, a passion to create something that's never existed before.
You see and feel the world more intensely than other people.
You're not content, as others seem to be, with just working and kicking back.
And even though some forms of art are highly collaborative, deep down you're not a "team player."
Your creativity is drawn from a well deep inside you that for the most part you must access alone.
When you're in the process of creating your art, whether it's a painting, a play, a book, a creative non-fiction essay, a sonnet or a musical score, you feel deeply alive.

Everyone wants a safe and secure relationship.
But what happens is that two people frequently fall into a pattern of relating with each other that causes them to feel anything but safe and secure.
When these patterns get entrenched for a long time, feelings of being lonely, misunderstood, unloved or criticized take over the entire relationship, driving the two of them further and further apart.
In the couples counseling that I do, which is called Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, I help you see and understand the pattern you are stuck in, then learn to interrupt the pattern, and finally change the pattern into a way of relating that brings you the closeness, happiness, security and intimacy you really want.
