Ryan McDougle, LCSW
Licensed in: Oregon
From a young age, I have been deeply moved by the complexities of human emotion and the resilience of the human spirit. Witnessing the impact of life’s challenges on my own family inspired me to create a space where individuals and couples can feel understood and supported in their healing journeys. My work is rooted in compassion, connection, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of therapy to help people move from pain to growth.
About Me
I hold an MA in Psychology from California State University, Chico (2014) and a Master of Social Work from Tulane University (2021). My specialties include trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of my clients. I strive to create a collaborative and empowering environment where clients can develop tools to overcome obstacles and rediscover a sense of hope and possibility for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
How much will my appointment cost?

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
