- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Indiana. I have worked in various environments including community mental health and university counseling services which has enabled me to counsel individuals on a variety of issues including grief & loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions and relationship concerns.
I believe that the role of a counselor is to meet someone where they are at, come along side of them and assist them in their journey, all of the time realizing that they are in control of their next steps. My job is to help you realize which steps you want to take then aid you in the process of implementation. My counseling style is relational, interactive, eclectic and based on the beliefs above. I will listen, try to understand, then help you understand.
It takes courage to actively seek assistance. I applaud your vulnerability and am ready to listen and offer assistance.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ryan has been a very great therapist. He has lots of experience. He listens to everything I say. He also has very good feed back. I appreciate this very much. I definitely recommend him.
Ryan is absolutely amazing. He quickly responds to my messages and always gives me great advice and input. He is really helping me with my grief and helping me get through some things that I never thought I would feel comfortable enough to talk about, but he is right there when I need him to give me the absolute best advice. He is the best therapist I have ever had. Very thoughtful, attentive, and supportive
I have only had a few sessions with Ryan but he has been a very good listener, and understanding of my needs in our sessions. I know he has my best interests and asks very thought provoking questions that have helped me greatly in my current endeavors.
Ryan is wonderful at making me feel comfortable in sharing my feelings. He brings a valuable perspective and offers suggestions on how to work on things between sessions.
