About Ryan
Dr. Ryan Hale offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, addiction issues, grief, and relationship struggles. He also helps with sleep and eating problems, attention challenges such as ADHD, anger, and career or workplace stress.
Dr. Hale uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people handle immediate problems and build better routines over time. He combines a client-centered stance with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
That means sessions move between listening closely to what matters most and teaching skills for mood, behavior, and thinking. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when people want clear goals and step-by-step change. Dr.
Hale holds Licensed Professional Counselor credentials - LPC - and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC. He practices from Kansas and brings 11 years of professional experience to his work. He has experience with varied settings and with people who need practical tools to manage stress and life transitions.
In a session he aims to be both direct and reflective, choosing what the moment calls for. He listens for what the person says and then offers concrete strategies that fit daily life. Sessions often include skill practice, short-term planning, and checking what works.
People can expect clear steps and honest conversation. Dr. Hale focuses on helping clients build routines, improve communication, and manage intense emotions so they can move forward with more control and confidence.
Online approaches that teach skills and solve problems
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them name what matters and build on their own strengths. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through distress tolerance and emotional regulation tools.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying strategies and adjusting them based on what actually helps.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and get support without travel. The formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments, while allowing therapists to tailor tools to each person’s real-life context.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
