About Ryan
Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and related issues such as codependency and attachment problems. Ryan focuses on practical change rather than labels, helping people notice patterns that cause repeated strain in relationships and daily life.
Ryan keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to what feels hardest and helps people break bigger problems into small steps. Sessions often include skills practice, problem solving, and conversations about how past experiences influence current choices.
Her background spans couple and family work, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. Over the years she has used several therapy approaches to suit different needs, drawing on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior strategies, and psychodynamic ideas when helpful.
Ryan aims to build a working relationship based on respect and trust. She emphasizes clear goals and regular check-ins about progress. People who want practical tools for boundaries, communication, or coping with strong emotions may find this style helpful.
To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Ryan does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Ryan Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people clarify what matters most to them and supports decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, current problems, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about progress so the plan can change as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use strategies learned in sessions during real-life situations and then bring reactions back to talk about in the next meeting.
