Professional statement

Ryan Eric Karper is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate located in Fort Worth, TX. He welcomes teenagers, young adults, and adults into his practice, with both individual and couple sessions available. He often works with students who are struggling to manage their stress levels in the face of a steep workload or working professionals who face depression or anxiety. Many of his clients feel anxious about their lives, resulting in deep emotional exhaustion.

Ryan guides clients towards strategies for overcoming current life obstacles and engaging in personal growth. He practices a therapeutic approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which draws connections between thought patterns, emotional reactions, and behaviors. He also brings Solution Focused Therapy into his sessions, helping clients to set realistic goals for their mental health and implement effective coping strategies.

Ryan enjoys welcoming clients into his therapeutic space, which is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on resilience. Clients leave sessions feeling heard and understood, with tangible tools on hand to practice throughout the week.
