About Ryan
Ryan Urzen is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career problems, and the upheaval that comes with life changes. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Ryan uses straightforward, talk-based sessions where practical tools are mixed with reflection. He often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to reduce overwhelm. Attachment-based work helps when patterns in relationships cause pain or repeat themselves.
Sessions focus on concrete goals. That might mean building coping skills for a panic attack, practicing new ways to ask for support, or planning next steps after a job change. He prefers clear steps and short, usable strategies that fit into everyday life.
His background includes a decade of work with people navigating grief, trauma, first responder stress, veteran issues, and career shifts. He also has experience helping caregivers, people with chronic illness, and those handling money or parenting pressures. This practical experience informs how he offers structure and goals in sessions.
People meet a clinician who uses multiple methods rather than one fixed model. Sessions combine listening with exercises, real-world tasks between meetings, and review of what is or isn’t working. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take workable steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making difficult life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. It often helps with panic, worry, and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity and improve concentration.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. They can also allow sessions where people are more comfortable speaking from their own surroundings or need a shorter audio-only check-in when bandwidth is limited. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to pick what works best for everyday life.
