Prof. Ryan DavisLPC

Prof. Ryan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. He also supports clients facing addictions and grief. Ryan emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation to make therapy feel approachable.

He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to work with. Sessions typically start with listening and mapping out what matters most to the client. Ryan aims to help people find small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily life.

His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at emotions driving relationships and attachment patterns. He uses these approaches to support people dealing with intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

People often come to him for help with sleep and eating concerns, coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career stress. He also has experience addressing issues such as infidelity, gender dysphoria, and aging-related concerns when these arise in individual work.

Ryan aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult moments and plan practical next steps. He encourages those who are nervous about beginning therapy to take the first step and try a short initial conversation to see if it feels like a fit.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach can help with stress, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns that shape relationships. It helps people name emotions, understand how those feelings affect interactions, and practice new ways of relating. This is useful for intimacy issues, relationship strain, and grief.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend paths to try. Sessions can shift as progress is made to focus on what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family demands. Online work can make check-ins quicker when a short conversation is needed, or it can reduce travel time so sessions fit into busy days.
