First step File > New > 650x200 Transparent
I am going to start this out by filling in the background with a dark grey color.
Next you want to select your text tool and write what you are going to make. You can use what ever font you want, I will be using Coolvetica. I am going to write "Ryan".
So far you should have something like this.

Now press File > Place > Select the picture you want to have inside the text > Make it bigger then the text but not too big that it gets pixelated.
I will be using this picture.

Now that it is the right size, right click the layer that it's on and select "Create Clipping Mask."
You should now have the image in the shape of your text.
Now click the grab tool which is located on the top of the toolbar to the left.
Drag your image around until you find a place that it looks nice with your text.
Double click your Text layer on the right side of Photoshop.
Select "Stroke" and change the default color of black to white.
And you're done!
If you have done everything right you should have something like this!
