About
Ryan Smith is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. He has worked with clients across the lifespan and addresses a wide range of mental health concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, anger management, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career difficulties, parenting and family conflicts, and relationship challenges.
He has built specialized experience supporting the LGBTQ population, offering help that ranges from exploring sexual and gender identity to couples work and managing the effects of oppression. Early in his career he focused on anger management, and he now brings extensive experience working with families and supporting parents through parenting and family-related struggles.
Ryan draws from several well-established counseling theories and adapts his approach to fit each person’s needs and goals. He often uses a solution-focused framework to clarify objectives and move toward them efficiently, and he incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques to address barriers and encourage more constructive thinking.
Known for a kind-hearted and open-minded manner, Ryan is accepting of people from all walks of life. He can integrate religion-based counseling when desired, and he is equally open to working with individuals who are not religious. He is motivated to help clients make progress and welcomes the opportunity to hear about their concerns - reaching out for help is an important step, and he aims to be a supportive partner through the process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - you can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for your schedule and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This ease of access can make it simpler to maintain regular care and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and if you decide a different clinician would be a better fit you have the option to switch. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, evidence-informed way to address everyday mental health needs and relationship concerns while fitting care into their routines.
