About Ryan
Ryan Lisman is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and concerns related to identity and trauma. He works in a way that centers the person seeking help and honors their goals and choices.
Ryan uses a humanistic, client-centered approach that lets clients guide the pace and focus of sessions. He also brings drama therapy into the work, offering creative, embodied ways to look at feelings and patterns when that fits a client's needs. He says he draws from several evidence-based techniques and tailors methods to each person rather than following a single formula.
In session, Ryan listens for what matters most to a client and helps break big problems into manageable steps. He supports practical skills for managing anxiety, coping with life changes, and improving self-esteem. He also helps people talk through grief, intimacy-related concerns, and issues linked to addiction or compulsive behaviors.
Ryan's background includes clinical work in a hospital mental health unit in Pasadena, California, where he practiced as a psychotherapist and drama therapist. That setting shaped his comfort working with crisis-affected and medically linked emotional issues.
He invites people to share their preferences for therapy style and techniques. The first step is a simple match and scheduling process to see if the fit feels right.
