About Ryan
Ryan Healy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of experience in the mental health field. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, grief, and challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity. He also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions.
He earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from Holy Family University in 2015. His background includes work in inpatient substance use treatment, a liver transplant department, care for chronically ill people, and residential treatment settings for children. That variety has shaped a direct, practical approach to therapy.
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use day to day. He helps clients name patterns, try new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions. He also addresses issues like impulsivity, guilt and shame, abandonment, and isolation that often sit under anger and substance use.
When working with relationship or parenting concerns he talks through communication patterns and realistic changes people can make at home. For LGBTQ+ concerns and questions about sexuality, he listens for stresses that affect mood and relationships and helps clients plan next steps.
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on clinical experience in medical and residential settings. He aims for clear, achievable goals rather than vague promises. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his work. One approach focuses on building practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that help reduce reactivity. These techniques are useful for people who notice rising tension at work or at home and want tools to steady themselves.Another common strand emphasizes addressing substance use and impulsivity by identifying triggers and creating step-by-step plans to change behavior. That work often includes problem-solving, relapse prevention planning, and setting short-term goals to replace risky patterns. These methods can also support people working through anger that links to addiction or impulsive decisions.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, current stresses, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
