About Ryan
Ryan Urzen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and guilt and shame. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come with caregiving or chronic illness.
Ryan uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort out what matters most. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools help people notice painful thoughts without getting carried away by them.
He often focuses on how relationships and attachment influence everyday behavior. That can look like talking through ways to set boundaries, improve communication, or rebuild trust after a painful event. Sessions also address work stress, money worries, and issues tied to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Ryan tends to blend client-centered listening with concrete strategies. He listens for values and goals, then tries to pair those with skills the client can practice between sessions. Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded while allowing space to process grief, remorse, or shame.
People seeking therapy with him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. He provides services in English and does not accept international clients.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting to every feeling. It can be useful when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck and they want to act differently in relationships or work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking that often accompany shame.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. These exercises can make it easier to sit with strong emotions long enough to decide on a next step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how interventions feel in regular life and adjusting strategies over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss format and timing during the matching questionnaire and scheduling step to choose what fits daily life best.
