About Ryan
Dr. Ryan Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with 11 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, addiction concerns, and relationship or family issues. He also works with worries about work, sleep, eating, parenting, trauma, grief, and questions about life purpose.
He favors practical, structured work that looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a core approach he uses to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He also uses client-centered methods and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as tools when they fit the situation.
Before counseling he worked in college sports and as a trainer. That background informs his interest in behavior change and working with people who want to improve fitness, recover from injury, or adopt healthier routines. He has also worked with first responders and athletes in different settings.
In sessions he balances directive guidance with reflective listening. He aims to be straightforward about strategies and to check in about what is and isn’t working. Expect clear goals, specific skills to practice between sessions, and regular review of progress.
Dr. Hale approaches each meeting as a collaboration. He and the person seeking help decide which methods to try and adjust them over time. People who prefer hands-on, skills-based work tend to find this style useful.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Hale commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear goals, practice exercises, and reviewing results, which can work well in remote sessions. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods that match those needs. That makes therapy a shared process where methods are adjusted over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the following session for concrete review.
