About Ryan
Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people untangle relationship problems, parenting stress, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at finding what helps each person move forward.
She prefers to build a calm, respectful connection before diving into difficult topics. Sessions aim to identify what's getting in the way and try manageable steps to change.
Background and approach
She uses clear language and concrete tools so people can use them between sessions. Ryan blends several methods rather than relying on a single model. She draws from client-centered work to keep sessions grounded in each person's priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and behavioral routines. When people face anger, addiction, grief, or self-esteem struggles, she focuses on small, practical shifts. For relationship or intimacy-related concerns she helps people strengthen communication and rebuild trust.
Ryan also supports those coping with career changes, compassion fatigue, or family-origin issues by creating a steady plan for progress. Her practice includes multiple remote formats to fit different schedules and needs. Prospective clients in California can expect a collaborative, solution-focused process aimed at realistic day-to-day improvements.

How Ryan’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person's priorities, helping sessions stay relevant to what matters most. That approach supports parenting concerns, relationship stress, and coping with life changes by centering conversations on the client's goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of better communication and daily functioning.
These approaches are chosen together with each client. The therapist will listen to goals and try tools to see what fits best. Finding the right method is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't convenient. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or handle short updates without scheduling a full call. Together these options make it easier to work therapy into busy family and work lives.
