About Ryan
Prof. Ryan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship concerns.
He encourages clients to see themselves as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and validates that first step. Ryan uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions.
Background and approach
He listens carefully and centers the conversation on what matters most to the client. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through difficult feelings. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy - an approach that helps identify and shift destructive emotional patterns in close relationships.
In practice he offers simple, goal-oriented conversations and supports skills people can use at home. This often includes ways to manage strong emotions, improve communication, or change habits related to addiction and sleep. He adapts pace and focus to each person instead of following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Ryan works with a wide range of concerns including parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses more specific areas like gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and blended family issues when relevant. He provides services in English and accepts international clients.
Sessions are available through multiple online formats. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions based on availability.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-based relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and life changes. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and practical, everyday problem-solving.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify recurring emotional patterns that create distance or conflict in close relationships. In short sessions he helps clients notice feelings, name needs, and practice new ways of connecting that can reduce reactivity and improve communication. EFT is often helpful for intimacy-related issues and relationship pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, then recommend and try techniques that match your needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend from home, balance parenting or work obligations, and stay consistent with appointments. The range of options also lets people choose the way of communicating that feels most helpful for their situation.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
