About Ryan

Ryan Rhodes is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside related issues. He sees people coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy problems, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and bipolar symptoms, self-esteem struggles, and career pressures. Ryan aims to be a steady presence rather than an authority figure in sessions.

He meets clients where they are and works with them to set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Ryan draws on eight years of clinical experience across settings that include adult outpatient substance use treatment, adolescent residential programs, and community-based services. He has worked with adults, adolescents, groups, and in family therapy settings. This background gives him familiarity with both individual and relational dynamics that affect parenting and family life.

His approach is eclectic, which means he chooses methods that fit each person instead of using a single formula. In practice that can mean combining talk therapy, skills training, and practical strategies that parents and families can use between sessions. Sessions tend to focus on clear next steps and real-world problem solving.

Ryan is described as walking alongside people during change. He emphasizes partnership and collaboration in treatment. That makes him a fit for parents who want straightforward guidance and support while juggling family responsibilities.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and how online therapy fits

Ryan uses an eclectic mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another useful method he applies involves skills-based family work that focuses on communication, boundaries, and problem-solving within households to improve parenting and relationship functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ryan collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the realities of family life. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a parenting schedule and to maintain consistent contact as goals evolve.
