About Ryan
Ryan Rhodes is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family and parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem problems, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. He presents himself as a steady companion in therapy, aiming to meet people where they are and support the changes they want to make.
He brings eight years of experience working in substance abuse treatment, adolescent residential care, adult outpatient programs, and community-based services. That background includes work with people who have co-occurring substance use and persistent mental health conditions, and experience leading group and family therapy as part of treatment settings.
Ryan uses an eclectic approach, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape a plan that fits each person. He prefers a collaborative stance in sessions - walking alongside rather than directing from ahead or pushing from behind. That means sessions focus on practical steps the client can try between meetings.
In session he blends structured methods with room for personal goals and values. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how symptoms affect day-to-day life and relationships. He also integrates work on coping skills, emotion regulation, and relapse prevention when relevant.
People interested in starting work with him can expect a straightforward intake and a treatment plan tailored to their situation. He accepts English-speaking clients and is open to international clients, with scheduling and format details confirmed when arranging care.
How Ryan's Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Ryan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. One common thread is structured skills work that targets symptoms directly - for example, learning coping skills for anxiety or relapse-prevention strategies for substance use. These are taught in simple, step-by-step ways and practiced between sessions to build daily routines.He also uses collaborative problem-solving and goal-setting. This approach focuses on clear, measurable goals such as improving family communication or reducing panic episodes. Sessions emphasize practical changes and homework tasks that help track progress and inform the next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ryan will discuss options and tailor methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. That collaborative process helps determine which techniques are most useful and how to pace treatment.
