Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Ryan works with several therapeutic approaches that translate well to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take committed action toward a life that reflects their values - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports couples in healing attachment and communication wounds by increasing emotional awareness and responsiveness, which can help with reconnection after events like grief or infertility.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ryan collaborates with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He blends techniques as appropriate and reviews progress together so the plan evolves with the client.
Online therapy with Ryan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic distance. These options make it easier to access consistent support while maintaining the collaborative, values-focused work that guides his practice.
