Ryan Townes

My practice in Wyoming, Michigan, serves adults 18 and older, primarily gender diverse and queer clients and others within the LGBTQIA+ community. I also work with neurodivergent clients. As Ryan Townes, a Licensed Professional Counselor, I take an LGBTQIA+ affirming approach.

Concerns I work with include anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), executive functioning, general life stressors, dysphoria, racial identity, sexual orientation and identity, and concerns tied to belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community.

I use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused approaches, choosing among them according to what each client needs. Early sessions go to goals, rapport and working through emotions, with the aim of lowering how intense symptoms feel. I aim to help clients reach both near-term and long-term goals and make positive changes. Sessions are collaborative and conversational, and I aim to accept clients as they come, without judging them. I work only through online therapy, a format that fits people who find commuting hard.
