About Ryan
Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. He speaks plainly and focuses on meeting people where they are. He aims to build a steady working relationship so clients can face life’s challenges with clearer thinking and more options.
He uses straightforward talk and practical tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, career questions, and identity issues like shame or emptiness.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize problem solving, coping skills, and building on strengths. Ryan draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s experience central. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable alternatives.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with emotion regulation and focus. With six years of clinical experience, he brings steady, down-to-earth guidance rather than jargon. He trained at Western Michigan University with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practices in Michigan as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor).
Outside of work he is a husband and a father of three who enjoys the outdoors and hard rock music. That practical, everyday perspective shows up in sessions as a calm, relatable presence and an emphasis on small, doable changes.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood and can notice patterns. It helps people clarify values and make decisions that match what they care about.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then works on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is a useful approach for anxiety, depression, and anger because it gives clear skills to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These tools often pair well with CBT when emotions run high or concentration is difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can be useful for short check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
