Ryan Giles, LCSW

Ryan Giles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 18 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. He centers his work on helping people build emotional balance and resilience so they can pursue their goals and respond to life stressors with greater strength.

Over nearly two decades he has guided clients through a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and difficulties related to faith and life transitions. He draws on both clinical training and personal understanding of how overwhelming these issues can feel, and he commits to practical, compassionate support to help clients move forward.

Ryan practices from a strengths-based perspective, meeting people where they are and helping them recognize and use their own resources. He uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches - including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused methods, and Internal Family Systems - tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which Ryan helps clarify priorities, develop coping skills, and build sustainable change. He values clear communication and empowers people to take active roles as the authors of their own life stories. Seeking therapy takes courage, and he provides steady support along the way.
