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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
