About Ryan
Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening first, building trust, and then working toward clear, practical steps. Ryan frames therapy around respect and collaboration so people feel seen and heard from the first session.
Ryan has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship trouble, parenting strain, trauma and substance-related problems. Self esteem is one of the issues she commonly addresses, along with grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She has also supported people facing shame, codependency, and difficulties tied to family of origin problems.
Her approach is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s experience, uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and offers Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when change and emotional regulation are priorities. Psychodynamic ideas may also inform longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.
In sessions she works to make goals concrete and manageable. That might mean trying a new communication skill, testing a small behavior change, or practicing emotion regulation techniques between meetings. Ryan aims to help people build tools that fit their daily lives.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
