Paul V. Ryan
Licensed Therapist
I am a licensed professional counselor. I graduated with a master's degree in professional counseling at Liberty University and an undergraduate for religion with a minor in counseling at Liberty University. I did a practicum and internship at C and T Counseling, LLC in Marietta, GA.
My practice style is one of partnership with an emphasis on the utilization of techniques and interventions best suited for the clients particular needs. I am straight forward and will challenge my clients when it is needed and always with the utmost respect. I believe humor has a place in most sessions.
The counseling journey is a joint effort between the client and counselor. The objective for my clients during this journey is to create a partnership where they feel safe, free to speak their mind, and introduce them to a process void of judgment and focused on overall well-being and mutual respect.

I truly go through my virtual appointments feeling the same that I would if I was in person and that is most helpful.

I was unsure what to expect because I've never heard of Ascend before but was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Great communicators! Trauma informed and the accessibility and ease of the user interface was the cherry on top for me.

I've dealt with many counselors over the years and it seems more challenging than ever getting anywhere. But my therapist here has literally brought some light into my darkness. Truly appreciate the time and efforts beyond words.
