Ryan Plasch , LPCC

Ryan Plasch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who works with adults, couples, and parents. He is known for an approachable, warm, and non-judgmental manner, combining a positive, practical stance with humor and creative problem solving to help people move forward.

He supports individuals who want to reassess and redefine their life roles and goals, guiding them to notice unhelpful patterns - the so-called cognitive loops - and the sabotaging thoughts and feelings that keep them stuck. His work emphasizes locating the inner critic, strengthening emotional intelligence, and realigning daily choices with a person’s core values, hopes, and ambitions.

Ryan works with men and women individually 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, repairing attachment and communication wounds, clarifying family goals and values, and reigniting sexual chemistry. Ryan also brings personal experience with male infertility, miscarriage, and parenting to his clinical perspective.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people move toward a life they care about by building psychological flexibility and purposeful habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets attachment and emotional connection in relationships, helping partners read and respond to each other’s feelings, repair relational wounds, and rebuild intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ryan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the focus and techniques so therapy feels relevant and doable for each person or couple.

Online therapy offers practical advantages - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging create flexibility to meet around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic work into daily routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt approaches to the online setting.
