About

Ryan Derico is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Indiana and Florida with seven years of clinical practice. He focuses on addressing stress, anxiety, self esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues relevant to LGBT clients.

Remote care using collaborative, evidence-informed techniques

Ryan Derico provides online sessions that combine client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person. Client-centered techniques prioritize the client’s perspective, creating space for their priorities and pacing. Cognitive behavioral work targets thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skill building. Motivational interviewing supports ambivalence and clarifies personal reasons for change.

These approaches are presented in an accessible, collaborative way. Sessions can focus on identifying patterns that affect mood and functioning, practicing new coping skills, and strengthening motivation to take next steps. The combination allows for attention to immediate coping needs and to longer range goals identified with the client.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to maintain ongoing communication and to select the method that best fits a client’s schedule and style of engagement.
