About Ryan

Ryan Urzen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and money and financial issues. He works with individuals managing life transitions, workplace strain, and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and isolation.

Ryan uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to help clients find practical ways forward. He emphasizes self-worth, clearer communication, and building coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and to practice new habits between meetings.

Over a decade of experience informs his work. He has worked with veterans, first responders, and young adults, and brings that perspective into helping others recover from loss, stress, and burnout. That background helps him recognize common patterns and offer concrete strategies.

His style blends several approaches depending on what a person needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, uses mindfulness to calm the nervous system, and applies acceptance-oriented tools to tolerate difficult emotions. Attachment-informed work helps with relationship patterns and emotional connection.

Ryan frames therapy as a collaborative process. He helps clients set clear goals, checks progress, and adjusts the plan when needed. People who want practical steps, emotional support, and clearer priorities often find his approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ryan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage distressing thoughts and regulate strong emotions. CBT offers clear tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision making. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to settle attention and notice feelings without acting on them, which helps with stress, grief, and burnout.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when emotions are difficult. ACT focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings while taking small steps toward a meaningful life. Ryan approaches therapy as a team effort - he will help you test different tools and choose what fits your needs, goals, and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt CBT, mindfulness exercises, and ACT techniques for remote sessions so you can practice skills between meetings and apply them in everyday situations.
