About Ryan
Ryan Waller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem and depression. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous or unsure.
Ryan creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. He listens closely to what matters most and helps clients sort through relationship strains, parenting tensions, and questions around sexuality or identity.
How Ryan works
He also supports those facing separation, infidelity, blended family stress, and midlife transitions. His work includes helping people cope with grief, hospice and end-of-life issues, and challenges that arise for first responders. He frames conversations so they are practical and focused on next steps.
Sessions look at patterns in relationships and ways to build self-love and confidence. Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. He collaborates with each person to set goals and chooses methods that fit their situation and pace.
Progress is measured in real changes people can notice in daily life. Therapy is offered in English and Ryan accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and personal coping. One common approach looks at patterns in how people relate to one another and teaches practical communication skills to reduce conflict and rebuild trust. Another approach centers on grief and loss, helping people name their feelings, process difficult moments, and find manageable ways to remember and adjust after a loss.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. He explains options, checks in about what is and isn’t working, and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and access licensed professionals from different locations.
