Ryan Poole
Hi there and welcome! As we go through different stages and circumstances in our lives, there are moments when we face difficult challenges and just need a safe space to overcome our barriers. Within my five years of experience, I have helped clients and families develop their unique coping skills for symptoms related to anxiety, depression, anger, behavioral dysregulation, trauma, and stress. Additionally, I have worked in various settings including communities, homes, medical offices, and remote video/telehealth. In my role as a bilingual (English & Spanish-speaking) clinical social worker, I utilize several methods of treatment with a sense of empathy and compassion for the young adults (ages 16-25 y/o), adults, and families I serve. These methods of treatment and approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I look forward to working with you and/or your family as a team with a focus on healing, skills building, and reaching your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
From our first session to our last session, my clients can expect empathy, compassion, and a sense of empowerment. As a mental health provider, I adopt a collaborative approach where you are the expert about yourself and together we find the best coping strategies for you. Many of the clients and families I’ve served find that after some time it's easier to self-regulate their emotions and behaviors, problem-solve, and live more fulfilling lives.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician, my strengths include but are not limited to, engaging and building strong rapport with clients and families as well as communicating transparently. I enjoy learning about clients' and family's customs, values and beliefs to collaboratively create individualized interventions and treatment goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist I've had much success in incorporating CBT as a form of treatment. In my practice I utilize CBT as an intervention to help clients identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors or actions. We explore their core beliefs or values and together assess if there are any cognitive distortions that may be impacting and daily lives and don't serve them anymore.
