About Ryan
Prof. Ryan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of experience. He frames the work around each person's story and strengths. He aims to make first steps feel manageable for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship concerns.
He uses simple, direct conversation to help people sort priorities and set small, doable goals. Sessions focus on what matters now - improving sleep, managing anger, coping with grief, or handling work stress. He also supports those navigating identity matters such as LGBT and gender dysphoria related concerns.
Ryan draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person’s lead and validate their experience. He also uses emotionally-focused therapy to address hurt or disconnection that can show up in relationships and intimacy. These approaches are practical and aimed at helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
He works with issues beyond mood and anxiety, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, career strain, and codependency. He also lists additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, and forgiveness work. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s pace and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns back, and helps people tap into their own strengths to make changes. This approach is helpful for mood problems, stress, and figuring out next steps in life.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and attachment-related patterns in relationships. It helps people understand emotional responses and shift how they connect or respond to others. EFT is often used for intimacy-related issues, grief, and relationship distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you want to avoid travel, online sessions may make it simpler to check in during a lunch break or after work.
