About Ryan Gay
He approaches therapy collaboratively, helping people examine the thoughts and feelings that affect daily functioning while also teaching practical coping skills. Ryan favors an eclectic style, frequently drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - which emphasizes values-based action and psychological flexibility.
Ryan commonly works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions, and he also addresses concerns related to guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love. He emphasizes increased awareness and mindfulness as foundations for taking concrete steps aligned with what matters most to each person.
Clients describe his intended therapy style as kind, comfortable, and personable, and he aims to create an environment where people feel free to discuss whatever is on their mind. He is available for virtual individual sessions and welcomes questions about his approach and services.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy is often as effective as traditional in-person sessions for addressing symptoms and building coping strategies.One of the clearest advantages is flexibility - people can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
Therapists who provide remote services are licensed professionals, and many offer an opportunity to change providers if a different therapeutic fit is needed. Online therapy can be a practical option for people seeking supportive, skills-based help from qualified clinicians without the need to travel to an office.
