About Ryan
Ryan Urzen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, and social anxiety and phobia among other issues. He works with people who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck and prefers clear, practical steps in sessions.
In session he uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also uses Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas to explore how relationships and past patterns affect current struggles.
Ryan often helps people who face work stress, caregiver burdens, chronic illness, or the ripple effects of trauma and grief. He also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and questions about purpose or career direction. He recognizes issues common to veterans, first responders, and men navigating life transitions.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and small experiments people can try between meetings. He uses mindfulness techniques to build awareness and reduce reactivity, and Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Conversations aim to be direct and respectful, with practical tools to use day to day.
Ryan practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. He indicates that costs vary by location and that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing valued actions. Online sessions can guide practical exercises to help someone act toward what matters despite anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. This can include homework and brief practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and mirrors concerns to help clients find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and pace. Sessions often mix techniques so people can try different tools and keep what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. The therapist can suggest practical exercises and homework that fit the person's routine and circumstances.
