More about Ryan

6 years' experience
Male
LMHC, LPCC

I am licensed as an LPCC in California and an LMHC in New York with 6 years of professional work experience. My primary focus has been on helping survivors of abuse and trauma, and I also have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, and coping with life changes. I employ a client-centered approach to therapy, following my clients' lead in sessions. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, all while maintaining a space of non-judgement, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek help and work towards a more peaceful, fulfilling, and happier life. I am here to support, guide, and empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
