About Ryan

Dr. Ryan Hale is a licensed counselor with LPC and LCPC credentials who helps people manage concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, life transitions, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, intimacy challenges, eating and sleep problems, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He brings an emphasis on practical coping and coaching alongside traditional therapy to support clients navigating emotional and behavioral change. With 11 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings, he blends direct guidance and reflective listening to match each session to a client’s immediate needs.

His background includes work with college campuses, emergency responders, athletes, and independent practice, and his earlier career as a trainer informs an interest in healthy behavior change and recovery from injury. Dr.

Hale frames his work around collaborative problem solving and uses evidence-based techniques to help clients set goals, build skills, and address barriers to progress.

Practical Approaches and Online Access



Dr. Hale uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, collaborative stance that helps people explore goals and build self-directed solutions. Both methods emphasize skill development and concrete steps toward change while respecting the client’s pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to determine whether a more skill-focused method like CBT or a more exploratory, client-led path is the best fit, adjusting techniques as goals and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around work or family obligations and support ongoing momentum between sessions through brief check-ins or messaging when appropriate.
