    About Ryan

    Ryan Glathar is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She invites people to talk about what’s getting in the way of a fuller life and helps them take practical steps toward change. Ryan builds a therapeutic relationship on trust and respect and makes space for honest, straightforward conversation.

    She has worked with many common life struggles including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and grief. Ryan also supports people facing family problems, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness work.

    Ryan uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for helping people find their own reasons to change. She also draws on client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior.

    Her sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Ryan checks in about what’s working and adjusts the approach when needed. She aims to make therapy practical so people can try new skills between meetings and notice real shifts in daily life.

    If someone is ready to begin, they can follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Ryan works from California and offers services in English.

  2. How Ryan’s Approaches Work Online

    Ryan often combines Motivational Interviewing with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral strategies. Motivational Interviewing involves asking open questions and reflecting back what matters to you so you can find your own reasons for change; it can help with addictions, ambivalence about change, and building motivation. Client-centered work focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening to help people feel understood and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ryan collaborates with each person to identify goals and experiments with methods that fit those goals. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan together so therapy feels relevant and doable.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time so people can use breaks more effectively. Many people find video or phone sessions let them work through everyday problems from familiar surroundings while practicing new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals help tailor the format and approach to match your schedule and goals.
