About Ryan
Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 17 years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people untangle the issues that keep them from feeling like their best selves. Ryan builds therapy around trust and respect so people feel safe to talk about hard things.
Her work covers many concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Ryan does not use a single formula. She draws on Client-Centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas appear when someone needs short-term momentum toward a goal.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady steps forward. Ryan helps people identify roadblocks, practice new ways of relating, and build skills to manage strong emotions like anger or shame. She invites honest conversations about parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
People who prefer straightforward, collaborative work tend to find her style useful. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on progress. If someone wants to explore deeper patterns, she can also draw on psychodynamic ideas to make sense of long-standing themes.
