About Ryan

Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor who welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, anxiety, or struggles with mood and relationships.

Ryan holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University and has six years of counseling experience.

Background and approach

He lives in Michigan and combines a down-to-earth style with straightforward therapeutic tools. He is also a husband and father of three, and enjoys the outdoors and hard rock music in his spare time. In sessions he treats therapy like a relationship that grows over time.

He asks for honest communication and works alongside clients to clarify goals. He uses approaches that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect, while also honoring each person’s unique story. Practical skills and small steps are central to his work.

He helps people use motivation, new thinking patterns, and present-moment awareness to manage stress, addictive urges, or painful memories. He also addresses parenting concerns, family dynamics, grief, and challenges around trust or commitment. Ryan offers a calm, straightforward presence and aims to make the process feel manageable.

He supports people through both difficult transitions and ongoing struggles so they can move toward clearer choices and more stable daily functioning.

Practical approaches and flexible online care

Ryan commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and problems with motivation. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions adapt over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy lets people connect in ways that fit their schedule and comfort. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer simplicity, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options are designed to make therapy more accessible and easier to use alongside family, work, and other commitments.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
