About Ryan
Ryan Yellott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with three years of clinical experience. He works primarily with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, parenting and family concerns, and anger. He also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.
He uses a direct but collaborative style in sessions. He balances support with thoughtful challenge to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions aim to build practical skills, clearer perspective, and gradual momentum toward goals.
Ryan has worked in inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, community services, and crisis response. That background includes consulting for 988 crisis line staff, which informs his work with both acute distress and longer-term concerns. He draws on this range when someone needs short-term stabilization or steady progress over months.
He holds a Master’s in Social Work with a clinical concentration and is completing graduate training in healthcare management and data analytics. That training contributes to a structured, intentional approach to measuring what’s working and adjusting plans as needed.
In the therapy room he helps people clarify goals, practice skills, and test new behaviors between sessions. The focus is on manageable steps that fit into daily life and on building tools people can continue to use after therapy ends.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical, results-oriented way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps with social anxiety and everyday stress by breaking problems into concrete actions.Another approach emphasizes skills training for managing intense feelings and improving communication. That work includes practicing new ways of speaking up, pacing exposure to feared social situations, and building a toolkit of coping methods that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
