About Ryan
Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are worn down by stress, anger, relationship strain, or life changes. He also helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and concerns about parenting and career.
Ryan trained in clinical mental health counseling at Western Michigan University. He speaks plain, direct language in sessions and treats therapy as a relationship that develops over time. He asks for honesty and for people to try things between meetings so progress can be noticed.
In practice he draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person in front of him. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of strong emotions like anger.
Ryan also brings psychodynamic ideas about how past relationships shape current patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone struggles with change, such as substance use or stopping destructive habits. Sessions mix listening, reflection, and practical steps clients can try between appointments.
Outside of work he is a husband and father of three, enjoys the outdoors, and follows hard rock music. Those everyday details shape a down-to-earth approach in sessions and a focus on real-life solutions rather than jargon.
How Ryan uses therapy approaches online
Ryan commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention skills to notice feelings early and lower reactive responses.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. The first few sessions are often about figuring out which mix of techniques feels most useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since options were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and allow follow-up conversations without travel. Therapists can use these methods to practice skills, assign brief exercises between meetings, and keep momentum toward the changes a person wants.
