Ryan Bennion , LCSW

Ryan Bennion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 15 years of professional experience in clinical practice. As an LCSW he provides therapeutic support for stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. His work emphasizes practical, evidence-informed care aimed at helping people regain balance and move toward more fulfilling lives.

Ryan brings over a decade of experience working with veterans, offering understanding and tailored strategies that reflect that background. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he customizes conversations and treatment plans to address each client’s specific needs and goals. Ryan acknowledges the courage it takes to seek change and positions himself as a supportive, empowering partner in that process. His practice centers on helping individuals develop coping skills, clarify purpose, and rebuild confidence as they navigate life transitions and emotional challenges.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Ryan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional understanding. One common emphasis is on skills-based strategies for stress and anxiety - these approaches help people identify thought patterns and develop coping tools to manage day-to-day symptoms and reduce avoidance. Another focus is grief and loss work, which supports processing difficult emotions, making sense of change, and finding ways to carry forward meaning after loss. He also works with anger, self-esteem, and depression using structured interventions aimed at improving motivation and everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; Ryan tailors methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options with clients, adjusts plans as progress unfolds, and partners with people to choose techniques that feel like a good fit for their situation.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for consistent follow-up between sessions, and can help maintain continuity of care while clients balance work, family, and other commitments.
