About Ryan
Ryan Urzen is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. He often supports men navigating career strain, identity questions, isolation, and relationship concerns. Ryan focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier.
He uses short, clear conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Then he helps people build small routines and coping skills they can try between sessions. Sessions emphasize self-compassion, clearer communication, and realistic goal-setting.
Ryan draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and emotional overwhelm. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based work is included when past relationship patterns are getting in the way of current connections.
Over ten years in practice have included work with veterans, first responders, and people facing chronic illness or caregiving stress. That background informs his practical focus on stress management, coping with trauma, and navigating major life transitions like divorce or changing careers.
People who choose Ryan can expect a straightforward, collaborative style. He will listen, offer tools to try, and adjust the plan as needs change. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the requirements for a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that feed distress, which often helps with anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and can help with intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which ideas to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It also allows sessions to be shorter check-ins when that suits a person's routine, or longer conversations when more time is needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to support coping skills, communication practice, and steps toward clearer goals without requiring travel to an office.
