Ryan Urzen

Ryan Urzen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, career doubts, and major life changes. He also helps those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.

Ryan focuses on clear, practical conversations. He helps people name what's hard, practice new ways of handling difficult moments, and improve everyday communication. Sessions tend to emphasize straightforward skills and small experiments to test what works between meetings.

In practice he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means he uses values‑based work, looks at how thoughts affect behavior, and centers the person’s own goals during sessions. Mindfulness and attachment ideas also shape how he approaches relationships and emotion regulation.

Ryan has worked with veterans and first responders, and with people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, or cancer-related challenges. He also supports men navigating midlife questions, fatherhood concerns, divorce and separation, and financial or career stress. His experience includes helping people handle guilt, shame, isolation, and compassion fatigue.

Practical problem solving is a throughline in his work. He helps clients set concrete, achievable steps and reviews progress together. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see if the approach fits their needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for life purpose questions, chronic worry, and when a person feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences, giving space for self‑directed reflection and decision making; it supports relationship concerns and identity questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client‑centered techniques over time and adjusting based on how the work is progressing.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and arranging check‑ins without long travel. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so logistics match your schedule. Licensed professionals often use these arrangements to make regular follow ups and focused skill practice more attainable.
