Ryan Urzen

Ryan Urzen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing major life changes. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, and challenges related to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Ryan uses clear, practical steps to help people get unstuck. He focuses on communication skills, building self-compassion, and manageable coping strategies. Sessions aim to reduce isolation, ease workplace stress, and strengthen day-to-day functioning.

With ten years of experience, he has worked with a wide range of people, including veterans and first responders, and those processing loss or major transitions. That background informs his approach to stress, grief, and midlife concerns.

Therapy sessions combine active listening with goal-focused techniques. Ryan draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, and mindfulness to help clients notice what matters and take small, workable steps. Attachment-informed perspectives guide conversations about relationships and intimacy.

He pays attention to practical life issues like career decisions, fatherhood concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and money worries. The aim is to help people reconnect with purpose and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Ryan uses acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people clarify what matters and take small, practical steps. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action, helping with anxiety, life transitions, and finding purpose. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease stress, depression, and workplace difficulties.

He also uses attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered habits in conversations about relationships and intimacy. Attachment-informed work looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. Client-centered habits mean the therapist follows the client's concerns and supports their own goals rather than imposing a set plan. Together these approaches are used collaboratively to match the work to a person’s goals and comfort level.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. The therapist will work with clients to choose an approach and session rhythm that fit daily life, whether the focus is short skill-building sessions for stress at work or longer conversations about grief and relationships. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and accommodate quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when needed.
