01About Ryan
Ryan Plasch works with adults on relationships, grief, parenting concerns, anger, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He also helps people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles, workplace stress, and life transitions. Ryan holds an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and he brings six years of clinical experience to his practice.
Ryan’s style is down-to-earth and approachable. He uses warmth, gentle humor, and creative thinking to make conversations feel natural.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real change rather than jargon or long theory talks. He often helps people spot the thought patterns that keep them stuck. That includes identifying the inner critic and the “cognitive loops” that lead to repeated behavior.
From there he works with clients to realign daily choices with their values and goals. Ryan has a strong interest in couples work, especially when partners are coping with major life changes like infertility, postpartum adjustment, or grief. He helps partners rebuild connection, repair communication, and address sexual and emotional distance.
He also supports individual men and women dealing with fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and social anxiety. Ryan mentions personal experience with male infertility, miscarriage, and parenting, which informs his understanding of those concerns.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ryan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. EFT looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps partners reconnect by changing how they respond to each other, which can be useful for attachment wounds and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. He offers video calls for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options let people choose what works best for timing, comfort, and communication style while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.
