About Ryan
Ryan Waller is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. He brings four years of clinical experience to his work and focuses on relationship and family concerns. He also helps people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through difficult feelings without judgment. He encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to test what helps most.
Background and approach
Ryan has supported people through blended family tensions, divorce and separation, and infidelity. He also assists those navigating midlife shifts, sexuality questions, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. First responder stress and end-of-life or hospice related concerns are part of his background as well.
In conversations about parenting, he works with parents on setting boundaries, rebuilding routines after big changes, and managing the strain of caregiving. He uses an evidence-based approach and tailors methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single technique to everyone. Sessions are offered in English and Ryan accepts international clients.
He works through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and guides people toward simple goals they can measure over time.

Evidence-based approaches for online parenting and relationship work
This therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns in relationships and testing small changes to see what improves communication and trust. This kind of work helps when couples or partners face recurring conflict, infidelity, or changes after separation.Another common approach focuses on grief and loss by helping people name painful feelings, build routines, and find ways to honor what they’ve lost. That work is useful for hospice-related bereavement and adapting to life after a major change. A third strand centers on self-esteem and motivation, using short, doable tasks to rebuild confidence and daily momentum.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is better. Live chat and messaging let people do shorter check-ins, track progress, and send updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
