About Ryan

Prof. Ryan Davis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He has 14 years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, and depression. He emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and encourages people to take the first step toward change.

He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. Ryan aims to make the room feel like a steady place to sort things out and try new ways of coping.

His work includes support for a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and career stress. He also addresses issues related to LGBT identity, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of attention include blended family issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, and aging and geriatric matters.

Ryan uses Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in his practice. That means he pays close attention to what each person brings and helps them connect feelings to patterns in relationships and daily life. He explains options plainly and helps people choose what feels most useful.

People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations tend to fit well with his style. He welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the listed process.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person seeking help. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities, and helps clients identify strengths they can use to cope with stress, anger, and life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice their emotional responses, understand triggers, and practice new ways of connecting and reacting that reduce conflict and shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend an approach or a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments while focusing on stress, anger, grief, relationship concerns, and other challenges handled in his practice.
