Christine Ryan

Christine Ryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience helping people through hard transitions. She blends long clinical practice with life coaching to guide clients toward clearer choices and next steps.

She trained at Arizona State University and began working in psychiatric hospital social work and community mental health. Over the years she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, separation and divorce, and chronic illness. She also brings lived experience as a long-term cancer survivor to conversations about serious medical challenges.

Christine now combines therapy and coaching to focus on practical change. She often frames work in three parts - understanding the situation, noticing its effects, and deciding what comes next. That orientation lends itself to short-term, solution-focused work as well as deeper exploration when needed.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, helps clients name patterns, and coaches small experiments that can shift how people handle stress, money questions, or life transitions. She has also done disaster management training and responded to critical incidents over the phone.

Based in Texas, she has worked across different settings and platforms. People who want clear goals, practical steps, and a mix of coaching and counseling may find her approach useful when dealing with relationships, caregiving stress, career questions, money and financial issues, or the losses that come with major life change.
