About Ryan
Ryan Bennion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin making changes that matter to them.
He has a long history of working with adults around motivation and confidence. Ryan adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
He listens for practical goals and breaks larger problems into manageable steps. Sessions often focus on building day-to-day coping skills. He helps people name triggers, try new ways of responding, and practice small behavior changes between sessions.
When grief or loss is involved, he works at a pace the person can handle while addressing immediate needs. Ryan emphasizes collaboration. He supports people as they set realistic goals and track progress.
That often includes short-term strategies for calming strong feelings and longer-term work on confidence and purpose. People seeking help with workplace stress, social anxiety, loneliness, or questions about life direction may find his approach practical. He explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as needs shift over time.
What Ryan works with
Everything Ryan lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Ryan's practice.
Approaches for managing intense feelings online
Ryan uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions. One common approach helps people identify triggers, notice physical sensations, and practice simple breathing and grounding skills to reduce immediate distress. This method is useful for anxiety, anger, and overwhelming stress.Another approach focuses on building practical behavior changes over time. It breaks goals into small steps, sets experiments to try between sessions, and tracks what works. This kind of work helps with motivation, low self-esteem, depression, and workplace challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and daily routine, and adjust methods as progress is made. He aims to match techniques to what feels achievable and helpful for the individual.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client work visually and talk in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and flexible communication between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other responsibilities.
