Rate Rev. Larry Payne

I worked with Larry in the past and had a great experience. I have tried other counselor's but none of them were able to listen and encourage me to work through my stumbling blocks. Larry provided me with tools that have equipped me to help myself. I was thrilled to find Larry again because he the best counselor that I have had and good counselors are not easy to find.

Already referred Marissa and Abraham for counseling

Larry is so kind and accepting. Very calm and patient.

I have never been through professional counseling before in my lifetime. However, Larry is the most amazing and well versed counselor in his profession. I would recommend him to anyone needing counseling.

Larry has helped me make strides in my personal life that wouldn't have been possible without his help and expertise. Through our sessions, I have learned to esteem myself in high regard, i've learned how to navigate life's challenges and have learned what normal is. He has helped me in more ways than I can count. I am so thankful for him.

Thank you for your help your feedback helps me get through my day easily

Larry is very prompt with his responses and very empathetic and caring in his responses. He also gives homework that helps me better myself.

A great counselor, it’s my first time and I was very nervous but he’s very understanding but also very informative. Highly recommend!!

Larry is awesome. He understands you, empathizes and even offers techniques to overcome the issues that you are dealing with.

Larry Payne is a caring and understanding counselor. He allows you to be where you are and he meets you there.... it is good to know there is someone who listens and guides you with wisdom and kindness. I would recommend him to anyone who wanted a great Christian Counselor.

I had been struggling to get started with counseling when I signed up for Faithful Counseling. I shared what my main concerns and reasons for wanting counseling were. Larry Payne responded promptly...and even though I ignored him (because I was anxious about starting), he persisted and let me know that he was praying for me and there if I needed to talk. I appreciated that. I have also appreciated his continued prompt responses.

Larry does a wonderful job of listening and meeting you with genuine empathy and understanding right where you are. I’ve appreciated his boldness in validating the hard things while gently offering insight into next steps toward a greater balance of health in the midst of those hard things. The practical approaches combined with//rooted in faith have been excellent.

He is a very diligent and skilled counselor and very much interested in helping his client actually fix there problems rather than just hearing them out.

I have recommended BetterHelp to others who have benefited as I have from the excellent services offered. I will continue to do so and can’t say enough about the ease in using and reliability of this app and as a mental health services provider. My therapist, Larry Payne, has been terrific and I’ve benefited tremendously from his guidance and advice in my journey towards understanding who I am and why and how this affects my relationships. The tools and methods Larry has advised for self examination, discussions, and understanding relationships has been very effective.

Larry is just great. He does his homework before your session which I greatly appreciate. He seems to always come prepared. He listens, he truly cares about you, and works with you as a team.

I wanted to wait a couple of months before writing a review. Well, I have only had 4 sessions and felt with the experience I have had with Larry that it needed to be shared. I've had only one other therapist who I see in person and who I really love. I decided to try to get additional help and another viewpoint as life and trauma just suck and it couldn't hurt right? It's been going pretty well thus far. He's responsive, compassionate, and understanding. If you think, "there's no way someone is this nice and is sincere about it?" You're wrong, he is absolutely 100% sincere and generally a happy person. He cares, genuinely wants to help, and keeps you accountable. My current therapist isn't a homework person so that's a bit different for me. I apparently don't mind the work outside of the video sessions. I like to be communicating throughout the week. It's a nice change. It makes me feel like I have someone there who I know will respond throughout the week. For me, waiting from session to session can be super hard during some tough times. You won't regret choosing Larry. If you are committed and work hard, communicate, and most importantly are honest, I am sure you will see results.

Larry is an excellent therapist and has been very helpful. He’s helped me to understand a great many things and has been a very positive and insightful influence for me.

I’ve worked with Dr. Larry for the past four years. I have never felt more heard, celebrated, and valued than I do with Dr. Larry. It was a safe place to air out frustrations, disclose years of shame or guilt, and question the things I believed! He helped me envision a better and healthier self through counseling! I’m forever grateful for working with Dr.Larry during the darkest and hardest years of my life! Thank you!

Have really enjoyed working with Larry. We’ve really just begun, but I’m very comfortable with our relationship and appreciate his candor, experience, and guidance. Very confident this will be a good journey together.

Larry has been significant in my growth and self-realization. I couldn't ask for a more understanding and supportive counselor!

Dr. Larry is the best! I’ve worked with him for over three years now! He provides insight and practical applications to help me accomplish my goals. He encourages yet addresses perspectives and behaviors that I wasn’t aware of that could be hindering my progress. I truly appreciate Dr. Larry! So thankful for him!

Larry is so wonderful!

Larry helps to make sense of things in this crazy world. When I am bombarded by feelings, he is able to assist me sort through these often very tough feelings. His response time is unbelievable - far quicker than an outside therapist. Having a Chrisitan-based therapist gives me peace of mind.

I’m so thankful to have found Mr. Payne. He works with you. Genuinely cares and won’t give you positive over rated quotes. He treats me and my situations like an individual. I have a hard time expressing myself and he organized my thoughts.

Larry Payne has been a huge help in getting me through a difficult time in my life. He is kind and really listens to you. I enjoy being able to message him because I have young kids and sometimes it is difficult to get my thoughts together when things are hectic. I can go back and re-read his advice which is a great help too.

He’s wonderful and encouraging!

Larry is an amazing guide in this thing called life, He has an uncanny ability to read between the lines and pinpoint what I am trying to convey to him, He has been a godsend to me!

Dr. Larry is the best! As a leader, executive administrator, and someone who everyone went to for answers and guidance......I needed someone to help me. Who did I turn to when I needed guidance? Who could I vent too that wouldn't report me to HR or threaten to fire me? Who can I trust or challenge me to grow? Dr. Larry guided me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. He encouraged me every step of the way. So thankful for the people who work in the counseling profession!

Larry continues to be a blessing as I navigate my anxieties and how to cope with them!

Larry, you've already been an incredible help simply by validating my experiences as painful and adverse. I've had 5 different therapists in my lifetime and I will say, so far you've been the most helpful, on-target, quite possibly most validating, and so far least painful and most hopeful experience. Somehow, you've created a space where I haven't been breaking down crying every visit, your sessions are very forward-looking and not putting me in a position where I am re-living trauma or painful experiences like a few of my past therapists. Thank you.

Been great so far! Excited to continue the process.

Very accepting

Larry is so perceptive and is always able to pinpoint my concerns with great accuracy!

I have been working with Larry for a few months now. I will say that I think it took few/several sessions for us to get to know each other. Since then, I think Larry understands the person within me. He listens and listens intently. He's offered great feedback and extra work for me to do to understand what further work I need to heal. I would definitely recommend him if their needs meet Larry's expertise. He's a great individual and therapist!

Larry is a great active listener and has the ability to put my feelings to words that make sense after I ramble on and on. That focus really helps.

Larry has such a good memory for what I tell him, I paused my counseling for about 6 months and he remembered everything we had discussed months later

Larry has been very considerate and attentive to my needs.

Larry has helped me walk through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. His encouragement and insights have been critical and a powerful force to help me move forward.

Larry has helped me to grow by leaps and bounds as a person in dealing with past trauma, anxiety, depression, and setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. He listens and responds in a way that allows a person to retain their dignity when maneuvering delicate topics. He empowers a person to work through whatever they may be dealing with and take an active role in the ownership of attaining a positive outcome! He is an absolute blessing.

He's highly experienced, always helpful, and compassionate.

Larry is a terrific counselor. He makes me feel heard and understood. He also has equipped me with valuable tools that have helped me in starting to accept myself. These tools have also helped me to combat irrational thoughts and to be kinder to myself. Before I was accustomed to counselors mostly listening to my problems and giving their insight. However, Larry goes a step above and shows me how I have the power to control and change certain things. It truly has been empowering.

I have already recommended BetterHelp to several people. Larry is great!

Larry does an excellent job of fostering self discovery while tactfully directing the conversation as needed. His kind demeanor promotes a therapeutic relationship and makes sharing tough topics easier.

Larry Payne is great so far.

Larry is supportive and consistently responsive. He provides practical help and gets back to me so quickly. In between sessions, I'm always confident what next-steps I can be taking to make progress in the direction of my goals, and can share with him along the way as I make adjustments or struggle following through. Larry has been so helpful and such an encouragement!

Larry advises, listens, and does so in a way to provide individuals with respect and dignity. Seeking help is not easy, admitting innermost feelings and beliefs about yourself is a very difficult thing for most human beings. Larry is reassuring that we will work together towards a positive future and ways to tackle any future moments of stress/anxiety/difficulty. He was my biggest blessing in the last 6 months and continues to be a blessing for the future I want for myself (and all those I love around me).

I finally see hope after talking with Larry!!

I was on the fence for a lot of things, I was lost in my on fog of bad thoughts and vibes. 2 weeks isn't enough to truly say things have progressed far, but baby steps in the right direction from his words and worksheets have brighten my outlook. Very respectful of my situation and responds in a timely fashion. I trust Larry to point me in the right direction.

I’m very glad that I have him as my counselor. I have never felt so confident in revealing my personal information with somebody before. I come from a different background but he has always been so supportive. I’m still having problems now but because of him I’ve been able to do a lot of things in my life that I never thought that I would do before.

I'm so happy I found Larry. I'm 53 years old and been to many counselors over the decades. He's the best counselor I have ever had and I've learned more from him in our short time than I have with all the other counselors collectively.

I feel like I'm journaling, and getting helpful responses! This is awesome and you don't have to make an appointment or skip work to communicate with your counselor.

Larry has been so very helpful! The exercises he has given have been very helpful, he provides constructive feedback, and he has been very sensitive in my quest to learn coping skills rather than going directly to prescriptive help. I have had a bad experience with counseling prior, and Larry renewed my faith in counseling services.

I am so grateful for Larry and his support.

Larry is a kind, friendly, and wise counselor.

Within the few short weeks I've spent with Larry, I am impressed that he can quickly pinpoint areas on which to work. Our contact is primarily once a day via email and we both have busy schedules, I'm sure. So he seems to have great time management skills and has been very responsive. I'm grateful for what I've received so far. Thank you Larry! Thank you Betterhelp !

In facing some tough life problems, Larry has been outstanding in guiding me through the process of finding solutions. He has helped me to stay on target and has helped me find solutions that were beneficial to me. He has always responded in a timely manner and leaves with a positive thought and things to work towards. He is a perfect match for my needs at this time in my life.

Larry listens to me and asks questions that help me be strong and reflective. He gives me strategies to work through the most difficult days and even moments. He is also flexible.

Larry has been extraordinarily helpful with setting some goals for me and driving me forward to meet those goals. He provides insight and perspective that helps shift my focus from negative to positive thinking. Our interactions have been helpful every time and if he can't get back to me right away for any reason, he will send me a message to let me know when he intends to get back with me. Overall, this has been a great experience and I look forward to making progress as time goes on.
