About Ryan
Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with six years of experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, or shifts in parenting and career roles. He also helps people facing addictions, grief, anger, and issues tied to family of origin and attachment.
Ryan trained in clinical mental health counseling at Western Michigan University and brings a practical, conversational style to sessions. He describes therapy as an organic relationship that grows over time. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and using a person's strengths to solve problems.
He uses several well-known approaches depending on the concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-centered work emphasizes the client's goals and pace. Mindfulness practices can be added to manage stress and strong emotions.
Ryan also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early family roles and expectations still shape present behavior. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help changing habits such as substance use. He keeps language direct and practical, aiming for clear steps rather than abstract theory.
Outside of work he is a husband and father of three, enjoys the outdoors, and follows hard rock music. That everyday perspective informs how he frames goals and next steps in sessions.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Ryan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions are practical and task-focused, which can work well when someone wants concrete tools for anxiety, depression, or stuck patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client's goals front and center and supports pacing that fits the person's readiness to change. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That conversation helps decide whether to focus on CBT skills, client-centered exploration, mindfulness, or a mix of methods.
