About Ryan
Ryan Marler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of practice. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and depression. He also addresses social anxiety and phobia alongside related concerns like isolation and guilt.
Ryan offers telehealth counseling for people in Florida. He works with adults, teens, and children age 10 and up. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon or long theory lectures.
Clients can expect a straightforward, skills-focused style. Ryan uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and dialectical skills to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions often include practicing concrete skills that can be used between meetings.
He describes his work as trauma-sensitive and attachment-informed, which means he pays attention to how past relationships and experiences affect current behavior. That attention shows up in conversations about triggers, boundaries, and connection, along with exercises to reduce reactivity.
Many people come to him feeling stuck or worn down by day-to-day demands. He helps break problems into manageable steps, offers ways to reduce overwhelming feelings, and supports building habits that fit real life.

How Ryan combines evidence-based techniques with remote care
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Acceptance and commitment ideas help people notice difficult emotions without fighting them and choose actions that reflect personal values. Dialectical skills provide concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation when stress or trauma makes reactions feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and he adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful.
