About Ryan
Ryan Yellott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps adults manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. He blends supportive listening with clear, goal-focused work to help clients move forward. Sessions focus on practical steps and building skills that people can use between meetings.
He has worked in inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, community services, and crisis response. That range means he is comfortable helping people during times of acute distress and during slower, longer-term change.
Background and approach
He has also provided consultation and support for 988 crisis line staff. In session he partners with clients to identify what matters most and set achievable goals. He mixes compassionate reflection with direct feedback to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
The pace is tailored to each person’s needs and readiness. Ryan holds a Master’s in Social Work with a clinical concentration and uses that training to organize sessions and track progress. He is also completing graduate work in healthcare management and data analytics, which shapes his structured approach.
His aim is to leave people with clearer thinking, practical tools, and more confidence. People come to him for help with parenting stress, family conflict, trouble communicating, guilt and shame, anger, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. He works in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in straightforward language and focused practice. One approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and stress through step-by-step exercises and behavioral experiments that test new ways of responding to worry. Another approach focuses on mood and coping by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete alternatives to change daily experience.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful. Together they monitor progress and pick strategies that fit the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule steady work on anxiety, stress, and life transitions without rearranging a full day.
