About Ryan
Ryan Healy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on anxiety, stress, addiction, and related concerns. He has six years of experience supporting people through hard moments and life changes. Ryan aims to help clients find clearer direction and better day-to-day coping skills.
He uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. Conversations are goal-oriented and grounded in real-life steps people can try between meetings. Ryan helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills for dealing with panic, worry, or intense emotions.
Background and approach
His background includes work in inpatient substance use treatment, a liver transplant department, care for chronically ill patients, and residential settings for children. Those roles shaped his experience with complex health and addiction issues and with people facing major life transitions. He draws on that range when helping clients with grief, trauma, or relationship strain.
Ryan supports people managing identity and sexuality questions, LGBT-related concerns, and difficulties around self-esteem and shame. He also helps with career stress, parenting strain, and feelings of isolation. Sessions often focus on practical problem solving and building healthier daily routines.
People can expect an approachable, down-to-earth style. Ryan works together with each person to set priorities and try tools that fit their situation. He aims to make progress feel realistic and relevant to everyday life.
Approaches that meet you where you are online
Ryan draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and real-world change. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, helping people learn breathing and grounding tools and ways to gradually face feared situations. Another approach centers on relapse prevention and support for addictions, teaching strategies to manage cravings, build routines, and prevent setbacks.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to understand goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to solve, then recommend methods to try and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and the chance to practice skills in-session. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and between-session support easier, and they can help people keep momentum when schedules are tight.
