In just a few weeks Ryan has helped me identify key issues that I didn’t know to target. I still don’t have a solution. But I honestly don’t think therapy “solves your problems” as much as it gives you the tools to work through them, maintain, and manage them. Ryan has been wonderful and easy to talk to. And I truly feel like he listens when I talk. He’s empathetic and I feel like he understands where I’m at mentally and emotionally and doesn’t push too hard when trying to learn about me.

More about Ryan
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I’m a therapist committed to helping people live more meaningful and satisfying lives. Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety should not get in the way of living the life you want to live.
My approach is person-centered, putting you in the driver's seat. We will explore the issues you wish to work on, as you are the expert on your life.
Using techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we can rework your relationship to your thoughts and feelings. A psychodynamic perspective will help us understand the deeper, unconscious issues that may be contributing to negative patterns in your life.
At the end of the day, regardless of where therapy takes us, I am here for you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He listens well and gives great insight into some of the things we talk about. I noticed he also remembers a lot of things we talked about from previous sessions so it’s very helpful to know that he considers the patients to be important and values our time. Also gives exercises after sessions that can be beneficial for self improvement.
