About Ryan Glathar
Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 17 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate complex life challenges. She approaches therapy with the belief that everyone deserves to live a fuller, healthier life, and she works collaboratively with clients to identify the obstacles that stand in the way of that goal. Ryan emphasizes building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect, recognizing that a strong working alliance is foundational to meaningful change.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, parenting difficulties, intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with specific focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, infidelity, and family-of-origin dynamics. Rather than relying on a single method, Ryan draws from multiple clinical approaches - tailoring interventions to each person or family she sees so treatment fits the client rather than the other way around.
Clients can expect a thoughtful, individualized process that blends practical skills with deeper exploration of patterns and meaning. Ryan aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward healthier relationships, improved emotional regulation, and clearer direction in life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ryan Glathar integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a variety of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a trusting relationship so clients can explore their values, self-worth, and relationships in a supportive environment - an approach that can be helpful for self-esteem, intimacy issues, grief, and family concerns.CBT is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and aspects of addiction or relapse prevention. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing strong emotions, anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Ryan partners with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then tailors techniques and pacing so the therapy approach matches what the client needs. Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility - appointments can occur by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or travel. These options support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
