About Ryan
Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He greets clients with encouragement and a straightforward approach, aiming to meet them where they are. He is a husband and father of three who enjoys the outdoors and hard rock music.
Ryan describes therapy as an organic process, similar to a relationship that needs time and honesty to grow. He focuses on practical steps that increase self-awareness and use a person’s strengths to solve problems. Sessions aim to help people discover hope and clearer next steps during difficult transitions.
Over six years as a clinician, Ryan has worked with concerns that include coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, and career stress. He also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
His work draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches, plus motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions he listens, reflects, and offers practical tools tailored to each person’s goals.
People who choose Ryan can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style that balances emotional exploration with clear problem-solving. He aims to support steady progress rather than quick fixes, helping clients make changes that fit their daily lives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the relationship between therapist and person, emphasizing listening, validation, and working from the client’s goals. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through emotions and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and uses simple awareness practices to reduce stress and reactivity. It can help with anxiety, anger, and managing cravings or urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices so they work well across different formats.
