About Ryan
Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. He greets new clients with straightforward support and aims to meet them where they are. He values honesty and gradual progress in the work he does with people.
He has six years of experience as a therapist and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University. He is also a husband and father of three, and he enjoys the outdoors and hard rock music when he’s not working. These personal interests shape a down-to-earth approach in sessions.
Ryan describes therapy as an organic relationship that grows over time. He asks for openness and honesty from both people in the room and focuses on building self-awareness. Conversations aim to surface strengths and practical steps rather than only talk about problems.
In sessions he uses methods like client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness skills to help people manage overwhelming feelings and panic moments. He also draws on motivational and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
People often seek him out for anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, and addiction-related struggles. He works to help clients find hope, identify next steps, and use their existing strengths to solve problems.
If you want an approachable, practical counselor who values steady progress, Ryan can be a guide as you decide on what to try next.
How Ryan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Ryan uses client-centered listening to create a space where people can be heard and feel understood; this approach focuses on the person’s experience and helps identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for managing panic and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring more control to intense moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaboration can include trying different tools and adjusting plans as progress is made.
