About Ryan
Prof. Ryan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. He focuses on common concerns like stress and anxiety and helps people who are coping with addictions or relationship problems.
He also works with depression and other life challenges. He aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who reaches out. Ryan believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening-first style.
Background and approach
Sessions center on the person in front of him - their goals, strengths, and what they want to change. He uses clear, direct conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and practical next steps.
In therapy he leans on Client-Centered Therapy, which means he follows the client's pace and priorities. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape close relationships and patterns of connection. These approaches guide how he talks about emotions, needs, and behavior.
Sessions often involve talking through what feels most pressing, naming feelings, and trying small changes between visits. He helps people practice new ways of responding to stress, manage cravings or impulses, and rebuild trust in relationships. He also addresses sleep, eating, self-esteem, and work stress when those issues come up.
Ryan works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, from ADHD and grief to parenting strain and career questions. He welcomes people from different backgrounds and identities and offers sessions in English. If someone is ready to start, he supports them through scheduling and the matching process.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and building on the person's own strengths. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what the client says and help them set goals at a comfortable pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings shape important relationships and recurring patterns. In a virtual session this approach helps identify emotional responses and practice new ways of relating with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick or blend methods based on their needs and goals. That means trying a way of working, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or do shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work and family life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional work.
