Ryan Urzen, LMHC

Ryan Urzen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. He works with clients dealing with career struggles, life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy. Ryan also supports people affected by chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the emotional fallout of separation and loss.

He uses straightforward, practical methods that focus on improving communication and building resilience. Sessions tend to include skills practice, goal-setting, and checking what actually works day to day. Ryan pays attention to how past attachments shape current relationships and how thoughts and actions interact in stressful moments.

Ryan has ten years of experience working with a range of people, including veterans and first responders, and brings that background into helping clients manage trauma and transition. He places emphasis on helping men who struggle with role changes and life direction, while also offering support for LGBT concerns and family-related stress experienced by individuals.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances listening with practical exercises. The work often moves between exploring values, practicing new ways of communicating, and reducing avoidance so life can feel more manageable. Ryan aims to help people reconnect with purpose, repair strains in close relationships, and find clearer paths forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and focuses on changing interaction patterns that cause hurt in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending ACT with mindfulness exercises or pairing attachment-focused conversations with practical communication practice.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises and between-session tasks in the flow of daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like ACT, attachment work, and client-centered listening to an online setting so therapy can focus on meaningful change while fitting into everyday routines.
