Kyle Yoder, LPC

Kyle Yoder is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. He works with individuals on intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and motivation. He also supports people processing grief and trauma. Kyle writes plans with each person he meets and keeps the conversation practical and focused on next steps.

Kyle holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies. He also completed an Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies and Theology. He maintains licensure as an LPC in Virginia and West Virginia and brings five years of clinical experience to his practice.

In sessions he listens first, then helps people identify small, doable changes. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase valued behavior. Attachment ideas shape how he talks about close relationships and patterns people repeat.

Kyle also draws from client-centered and dialectical approaches to help clients build emotional awareness and stronger coping skills. He adapts pacing and techniques to each person's needs rather than following a rigid script. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process.

People meet with him to work through life transitions, family and communication conflicts, compassion fatigue, chronic illness stress, and issues tied to abandonment or adoption. He encourages practical goals and regular check-ins so progress is visible and manageable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes when someone wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current intimacy and communication, and it can help people change repeating patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, personality, and needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, and offering sessions when commuting would be hard. It can also make it simpler to continue care while traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals use these flexible arrangements to keep momentum toward goals without requiring major schedule changes.
