About Ryan

Dr. Ryan Hale is a licensed counselor who helps people face stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, anger, workplace strain, and questions about intimacy and relationships.

He holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices from Kansas with eleven years of professional experience. He keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. He balances being directive with being reflective, adjusting his style to what a person needs in the moment.

Background and approach

That means sometimes offering concrete steps and sometimes listening and reflecting until a path forward appears. Dr. Hale uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.

He often combines these methods to help people change habits, handle mood challenges, manage stress, or work through traumatic memories. His background includes time working with college athletes and first responders, and in independent practice settings. That experience shapes a practical style that emphasizes skill-building and real-life application.

He also brings interest in healthy behavior change and recovery from injury when that matters to a client's goals. Sessions may include talking through problems, setting small achievable steps, and practicing coping skills between meetings. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use when challenges arise again.

Online support

How these approaches work for online care

Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person's experience and responding with empathy. It helps people feel heard and supports their own decision-making when facing life changes or relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. It can be useful for intense emotions, anger, or repeated problematic behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily life and maintain progress.
