About Ryan
Ryan Urzen is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. He works with clients dealing with career questions, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people coping with caregiver strain, chronic illness, first responder stresses, and issues tied to military service and fatherhood.
Ryan uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients name their priorities and try small changes.
Background and approach
He leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. His work often includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when things are hard. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about trust, closeness, and how early relationships affect current patterns.
Client-centered work means sessions follow the person’s pace and concerns rather than a rigid agenda. With ten years of experience, Ryan draws on varied tools rather than one single method. He focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence after loss or life change.
Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice, and real-world experiments to test new ways of relating and working. People come to him for help with loneliness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, money stress, and finding renewed purpose. He aims to create an approachable environment where people can talk honestly and try realistic steps toward feeling better.
Online approaches that fit everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to a person and builds actions that align with those values, which can help when depression, anxiety, or chronic illness make direction feel lost. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear steps to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, stress, and work-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice stress and strong emotions without getting carried away, which supports coping with grief, chronic pain, and caregiver fatigue.Choosing the right approach is often a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on values and acceptance, changing thought patterns, or practicing mindfulness, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions are good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging support short check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs while working on practical skills and meaningful goals.
