About Ryan
Ryan Godley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma or abuse, and addictions. He also supports people who are coping with significant life changes and men’s wellbeing concerns.
Ryan aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He tailors conversation and a treatment plan to each person’s needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle and focus on practical steps that can help day-to-day.
In sessions he listens for the patterns that keep a problem active, such as avoidance, impulsive choices, or isolation, and then works with clients to try new ways of responding. He addresses feelings like guilt, shame, and anger alongside behaviors such as substance use or compulsive actions. The work combines talking through experiences with planning small, doable changes.
Ryan has experience with related concerns that can appear alongside core problems, including attachment issues, codependency, co-occurring conditions, and mood or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. He also has experience addressing issues that arise after violence or domestic conflict.
People who reach out can expect a straightforward, respectful approach. Ryan encourages questions about the process and partners with clients to set clear, practical goals. He notes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step easier.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Ryan describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that pair focused conversation with practical actions. One common approach is behavior-focused work, which looks at patterns such as avoidance or impulsivity and develops small, specific changes to alter those patterns. This helps with issues like anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and addiction-related routines.Another helpful approach is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past harm affects current feelings and reactions. In practice this means moving at a steady pace, naming reactions, and building coping skills before tackling painful memories. That approach is useful for people dealing with trauma, abuse, or strong shame and guilt feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

In general, remote sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule during work breaks, and offering options for shorter check-ins when needed.
