More about Ryan

- LCSW
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions. I approach this work with the belief that meaningful progress comes from a balance of support and direct, thoughtful challenge. In therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, momentum, and meaningful change.
My professional background includes experience across inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, community‐based services, and crisis response, including consultation and support for 988 crisis line staff. This breadth of experience allows me to work effectively with clients experiencing acute distress as well as those seeking longer‐term personal growth. I regularly support adults managing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma histories, work‐related stress, caregiving strain, and major life changes.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work with a clinical concentration and am currently completing graduate training in healthcare management and data analytics, which informs my structured and intentional approach to care. I view therapy as a partnership focused on helping clients make progress that lasts beyond our work together, building skills, clarity, and confidence they can continue to use independently.

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.
