Ryan Plasch , LPCC

Ryan Plasch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who works with adult individuals, couples, and parents. He brings a warm, approachable, and non-judgmental style to his work, combining practical strategies with a sense of humor and creative problem solving to help clients move forward.

He often supports people who are re-evaluating life roles and goals, helping them recognize the cognitive loops and sabotaging thoughts that keep them stuck. His work emphasizes identifying the inner critic, strengthening emotional awareness, and aligning day-to-day choices with a person’s values, hopes, and long-term objectives.

Ryan works individually with men and women and has a particular passion for helping couples reconnect after difficult life transitions such as infertility, postpartum adjustment, and grief and loss. He assists partners in closing emotional and physical distance, healing attachment and communication wounds, clarifying family goals and values, and rekindling intimacy. He also draws on personal experience with male infertility, miscarriage, and parenting in his therapeutic approach.

Approaches for Online Work and Remote Connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters most to them and taking committed action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It can help with motivation, meaning, and coping during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with relationships and daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners and individuals explore emotions that shape attachment and connection. It is often used to rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore emotional and physical closeness in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ryan works collaboratively with clients to find techniques and frameworks that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy happens - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging let people fit support into busy lives, bridge geographic gaps, and access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their comfort and schedule.
