About Ryan
LMHC in Florida and Indiana with 7 years of counseling experience, Ryan Derico helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, ADHD concerns, and challenges related to life changes. He also works with people facing compassion fatigue and supports LGBT clients. Sessions are conducted in English and are based on a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing.
Ryan keeps sessions practical and straightforward. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on clear goals, everyday coping skills, and small steps that fit into daily routines. He aims to make the first steps less overwhelming and more manageable.
His approach blends listening with active problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy guides how he listens and reflects what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides tools for changing thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their reasons for change and stay moving toward their goals.
Ryan has worked across human services for many years before focusing on clinical counseling. That background informs a practical, resource-oriented style rather than a lot of jargon. He frames progress as gradual and measurable, with room to adjust methods as needed.

How his approaches are used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In remote sessions this means the therapist mirrors priorities and helps clients clarify their own goals and resources.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change thinking patterns and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework, brief skills practice, and tracking progress between meetings to manage anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps people uncover and strengthen their reasons for change. When used remotely it supports goal setting and keeps work focused on small, achievable steps that fit daily life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time based on how well the strategies are working.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to support continuity of care and to help people practice skills in their everyday routines.
