About Ryan
Ryan Yellott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with three years of clinical experience. He works primarily with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Ryan practices with a balance of support and direct, thoughtful challenge to help clients make steady progress.
He helps people address anger, stress, and family or parenting strain through straightforward conversations and practical skills. Sessions focus on building insight, momentum, and concrete strategies that can be used outside of therapy. He frames work as a partnership and sets clear, goal-oriented steps alongside open discussion.
Ryan’s background includes time in inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, community-based services, and crisis response. He has experience providing consultation and support for 988 crisis line staff, so he is familiar with acute distress as well as longer-term care needs. That variety informs how he responds when someone arrives upset or overwhelmed.
He holds a Master’s in Social Work with a clinical concentration and is completing graduate training in healthcare management and data analytics. That training contributes to a structured, intentional approach and attention to measurable progress. Sessions often mix practical skill-building with reflective conversation.
People seeking help for communication problems, guilt and shame, life purpose, social anxiety, or phobia will find a practical, direct style. Those worried about anger or frequent outbursts can expect clear tools and collaborative planning to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on skills and behavior change. For example, interventions that teach emotion regulation and coping skills help people notice triggers, slow down reactions, and try alternative responses. These approaches are useful for anger, stress, and anxiety because they emphasize practical tools to use in daily life.Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that drive feelings and behavior. They help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of interpreting situations. This style can reduce rumination, guilt, and social anxiety by creating simple experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about options and decide together which methods match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize skill practice, thought work, or a mix of both.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel for an appointment. Many people find virtual sessions help them maintain consistency while they practice new skills in real life.
