About Ryan
Prof. Ryan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for common life struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns.
He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy. He begins by listening to the person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions center on real-life problems and workable changes rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
Ryan encourages small steps that build confidence over time. Ryan uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first. He also draws on emotionally-focused methods to help people understand and shift painful interaction patterns and intense feelings.
These approaches suit concerns such as relationship strain, grief, anger, and intimacy challenges. Over his career he has helped people facing a wide range of issues, including sleep and eating concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
He also offers support around identity topics like LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, and addresses complex situations such as divorce, fatherhood issues, and blended family dynamics. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Ryan helps people set clear goals, practice new ways of handling problems, and check what’s working.
He welcomes conversations about how therapy will fit into each person’s life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s goals. The therapist reflects what is said, helps clarify priorities, and supports choices that make everyday life better. This approach is helpful for stress, depression, and self-esteem struggles.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and reactions. It helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practice new ways of connecting or responding. EFT can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, and strong emotional reactions like anger or grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, try out techniques, and adjust as progress is made. Goals and methods are reviewed together so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have richer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, ongoing coaching, or more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
