Getting to know Ryan Gay

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of St. Thomas – Minneapolis Campus. I provide virtual individual therapy sessions for adults primarily experiencing anxiety and depression, striving to be supportive and nonjudgmental as we work through the challenges they face in life. My approach I work collaboratively with clients on their mental health journey, exploring insights into the topics they bring up and identifying coping skills that may be helpful. While I take an eclectic approach to therapy, I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My focus I typically support individuals experiencing anxiety and depression symptoms, which may stem from various factors such as recent or ongoing stressors in their home, social, or work life. I enjoy helping clients increase awareness and mindfulness, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and take action steps aligned with their values. My communication style I aim to create a kind, comfortable, and personable communication style. I want my clients to feel safe, free from judgment, and able to talk openly about anything they wish. My journey to mental healthcare I find it rewarding to help people discover ways to enjoy life more fully. Being part of their journey as they take courageous steps in therapy, acknowledge their growth, and learn to care for themselves through life's ups and downs is deeply meaningful to me. My goals for you I work with clients to identify what they want to accomplish in therapy. Throughout our work together, we regularly review progress toward these goals and adjust our session focus and strategies as needed to support their success.
