Ryan Plasch , LPCC

Ryan Plasch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. He works with adult individuals, couples, and parents, offering a warm, approachable, and non-judgmental presence while using a practical, strengths-focused style that often includes humor and creative problem solving.

Ryan supports people who are reassessing their life roles and goals, helping them spot the repetitive thought patterns and self-sabotaging responses that keep them stuck. His work emphasizes identifying the inner critic, building emotional awareness, and realigning daily choices with a person’s values, hopes, and long-term aims.

He sees men and women individually and maintains a strong interest in couples therapy, particularly for partners seeking reconnection after major life transitions such as infertility, postpartum challenges, grief, and loss. In couples work he focuses on closing emotional and physical distance, repairing attachment and communication wounds, clarifying family goals and values, and helping partners rekindle sexual chemistry.

Ryan also brings personal experience with male infertility, miscarriage, and parenting to his clinical work, which informs his empathy and understanding when supporting clients through similar issues. He combines practical interventions with creative thinking to help clients move toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships.

Could remote sessions be a good fit for you?

Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy can be comparable to traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the communication style that fits their life and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to attend consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. This flexibility and accessibility make online therapy a practical choice for many seeking support.
