About Ryan
Dr. Ryan Hale is a licensed counselor in Kansas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other life challenges. He uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients move forward.
He holds LPC and LCPC credentials and brings 11 years of clinical experience to his work. Clients can expect a mix of direct guidance and reflective listening. He aims to match his style to what each person needs in the moment, sometimes offering clear strategies and sometimes holding space for processing.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize concrete tools that people can try between meetings. Ryan has worked in settings that include college campuses, first responder environments, and independent practice. That background informs his interest in workplace stress, first responder issues, performance concerns, and recovery from setbacks.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, mood problems, and relationship or parenting stresses. When goals involve behavior change, he draws on coaching techniques alongside therapeutic approaches. This can include setting small steps, tracking progress, and adjusting plans as needed.
He helps clients break problems into manageable parts and build daily habits that support those goals. Ryan’s style is practical and collaborative. He invites open conversation about what’s working and what isn’t, and he adjusts methods as a person’s needs shift over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows a person’s lead, helping them name their concerns and choose next steps; it fits well for issues like self-esteem and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills such as changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust what’s needed based on how you respond. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits your life and preferences.
Online sessions let people use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what works best. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily routines.
