More about Ryan
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 3 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, dealing with changes and school issues. I also worked people who have experienced emotional abuse and those dealing with loss.
My therapy style is interactive and I always like to meet the client where they are at. I believe that building rapport is the key to building a strong therapeutic bond. I strongly think that everyone should be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes strength to seek change in your life and therapy is a good starting point. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you, empower you and work alongside you on this journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
