About Ryan
Ryan Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of clinical experience in Connecticut. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. He aims to meet people where they are and treats each person with respect and compassion.
His style centers on conversation that fits the individual. He leans on client-centered methods to let people set the pace. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Ryan also draws from dialectical behavior approaches when emotions feel intense. Those tools help with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and improving communication in stressful moments. He pays attention to meaning and values when people are asking deep questions about purpose and life direction.
Sessions can include chat, phone, or video formats, and chat sessions are noted as a preferred option. He adapts the format to a person's needs and comfort, and works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. People reach out for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, mood swings, or the weight of guilt and shame.
He provides straightforward strategies for coping and supports people as they work toward clearer thinking, steadier mood, and improved daily functioning.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Ryan uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's goals and pace; sessions prioritize listening, understanding, and working from the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, or mood instability. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and reducing impulsive actions when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into workdays, busy schedules, or moments when a brief check-in is most helpful.
