About Ryan

Ryan Plasch is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who brings a practical, warm, and approachable style to his work.

Background and approach

He focuses on relationship struggles, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anger and mood concerns, anxiety and stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Clients encounter a therapist who blends humor with creative problem solving and emphasizes identifying the thoughts and feelings that keep people stuck.

Ryan helps people clarify and realign life roles and goals by exploring cognitive patterns and the inner critic that undermines progress. He cultivates emotional intelligence and supports clients in reconnecting with their values and hopes.

In couples work he addresses disconnection that follows significant life transitions, including infertility, postpartum periods, grief, and parenting adjustments, aiming to repair attachment, improve communication, and revive physical and emotional closeness. With six years of clinical experience, Ryan offers practical tools grounded in evidence-informed practices while remaining flexible and collaborative.

He works with adults in individual and couples formats, and draws on personal experience with infertility, miscarriage, and parenting to inform empathetic, grounded care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ryan commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally-focused therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values to guide meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment needs within relationships to repair connection and improve communication, often helping couples navigate grief, postpartum changes, and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work and family life, allow ongoing support during transitions, and provide multiple ways to engage based on comfort and communication style.
