About Ryan
Ryan Rhodes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. He helps people handle addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He aims to be a steady, practical presence during hard moments.
Ryan uses an individualized, flexible approach rather than a single method. He builds a plan that matches each person's situation and goals. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
How Ryan works
Ryan prefers to walk alongside clients as they make changes instead of directing them from a distance. His background includes eight years of clinical work across outpatient substance use treatment, adolescent residential programs, and community-based services. That range informs how he supports people facing both mental health and substance-related challenges.
He also has experience running group and family-based work. In sessions, Ryan keeps language straightforward and practical. He helps people identify patterns, set short-term goals, and practice new ways of coping.
He offers tools aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. People can expect collaboration about what to try and regular check-ins on progress. Ryan works in English and accepts international clients for online care.
His LPC credential shows he is licensed in Colorado as a professional counselor.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. That involves learning specific strategies, practicing them between sessions, and tracking small improvements over time.Another approach centers on addressing substance use and related patterns. This work looks at triggers, routines, and alternatives, and combines practical relapse prevention steps with problem-solving and emotional regulation skills. It helps people who want clearer routines and fewer high-risk moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust plan elements as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people build rapport face to face when that matters. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits better. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and routine coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work over time.
