About Ryan
Ryan Rhodes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing anxiety and other stressful life challenges. He works with adults and adolescents on problems like depression, bipolar mood concerns, substance use, grief, and trouble with intimacy or self-esteem. Ryan uses clear, direct conversation to help people figure out next steps and cope with day-to-day strain.
He has eight years of clinical experience in a range of settings.
Background and approach
That background includes adult outpatient substance abuse treatment, adolescent residential care, group work, and community-based programs. This variety means he has worked with people at different stages of change and recovery. Ryan describes his approach as eclectic.
He adapts methods to what each person needs instead of using a single technique for everyone. Sessions focus on practical goals, skills you can use between meetings, and strategies to reduce overwhelm. In sessions he aims to walk alongside clients rather than direct them.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to match where someone is right now. The emphasis is on helping people make the changes they want and on steady progress rather than quick fixes. His work frequently addresses relationship and parenting stress, trauma and abuse, career strain, and addictive behaviors alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
Ryan also provides coaching-style guidance when practical life planning is helpful.
Approaches and online options for anxiety and related concerns
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; this helps people handle stressful moments and build new habits. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects using paced conversation, safety planning, and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and support recovery.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust them over time based on what is working.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and nonverbal communication, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular contact between meetings.
