About Ryan
Ryan Plasch, LPCC, helps adults navigate relationship strains, anger, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and stress. He sees individuals and couples and aims to make therapy direct and down-to-earth. Clients can expect a warm, approachable tone and a focus on practical steps toward change.
He blends clear, problem-solving work with attention to emotions. Ryan looks for the thoughts and feelings that keep people stuck and helps them spot repetitive thinking patterns.
Background and approach
That makes it easier to choose different actions that match what matters most to a person. In couple work he focuses on reconnecting partners after life transitions such as infertility, postpartum changes, or loss. He helps partners repair communication and attachment wounds, set shared family goals, and rediscover physical and emotional closeness.
He also brings personal experience with male infertility, miscarriage, and parenting to inform his perspective. Ryan uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. He pulls in strategies that address unhelpful thinking, strengthen emotional bonds, and clarify life values.
Sessions are conversational and often include practical exercises to try between meetings. With six years of clinical practice, he works from Minnesota and offers support for concerns like addictions, trauma, ADHD, career stress, and midlife challenges. He aims to help people make steady, tangible progress toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.

How his approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what they care about and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and anger by shifting focus to actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and problematic coping habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on improving emotional connection in relationships by identifying interaction patterns and building new ways to respond to each other.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan will work with each person or couple to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. He combines techniques as needed and checks in to see what’s working so the plan can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work on these approaches flexible. Video lets partners practice communication with real-time feedback. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text sessions are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer appointments.
