About Ryan

Ryan Martin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, anger, and trauma and abuse. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.

Ryan helps people talk through patterns that started in childhood and now affect adult relationships. He often looks at communication habits, expectations around closeness, and repeated roles people fall into. Sessions are practical and conversational, aimed at making everyday interactions feel more manageable.

He supports people going through big life changes, including separation, midlife reflection, and questions about identity in relationships. He also works with those handling guilt, shame, infidelity, and problems linked to personality or mood disorders. Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address these concerns in clear, straightforward ways.

In the room he focuses on clarifying goals, noticing recurring behavior patterns, and practicing different ways of relating. He helps clients name what they want from relationships and test small changes between sessions. Progress is described in concrete steps rather than abstract terms.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive-focused methods look at thoughts and beliefs that affect mood and behavior and help people test new ways of thinking. Relationally oriented work examines communication habits and role patterns from family of origin experiences to improve how someone connects with partners and others.

Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they select strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the work practical and focused on daily interactions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone meet without being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help clients practice communication skills between sessions and apply changes to real situations.
