Ryan Huling

Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life transitions. He encourages honesty and steady effort, and he aims to meet clients where they are in their journey. Ryan describes therapy as a relationship that grows over time and requires openness from both people in the room.

He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University and has six years of clinical experience. He is a husband and father of three and brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions. He likes the outdoors and hard rock music, and he uses those everyday interests to relate to real-life concerns.

In sessions, he focuses on building self-awareness and using a client’s strengths to solve problems. He frames change as a process that can be difficult and rewarding. He helps people explore coping strategies for grief, trauma, addiction, and career or parenting stress.

Ryan uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. He works collaboratively with each person to find what helps most for their situation. The goal is practical progress people can use between sessions.

People who value a direct but empathetic style may find his approach useful. He supports people through issues like communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and struggles with isolation or emptiness. He encourages readers to take the next step when they feel ready.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. It helps people feel heard and guides them to identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try different methods when needed. Treatment choices are collaborative and adjust to progress, comfort, and goals rather than being fixed from the start.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings, so skills can be practiced in daily routines.
