Tyler Cole, LPC, LMHC

Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. Tyler works with adolescents through adults and uses a straightforward, strengths-focused style when meeting someone for the first time.

In sessions he listens first, then helps set clear goals based on what matters most to the client. He uses practical strategies that fit everyday life and adjusts the pace to each person's needs. Conversations cover coping skills, values-driven choices, and steps to reduce harmful patterns like substance use or avoidance.

Tyler draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches. He blends these to match the issue at hand, such as trauma recovery, grief work, or motivation to change addictive behavior.

Clients can expect a calm, down-to-earth presence in sessions and encouragement to build on existing strengths. He emphasizes realistic steps and clearer communication in relationships and parenting. Progress often follows small, consistent changes rather than sudden fixes.

How Tyler brings therapy online with evidence-informed methods

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching acceptance of difficult thoughts and commitment to meaningful change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing painful memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is commonly used when past events keep affecting current functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change, often used with substance use and other habit changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Tyler will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice happens together, and can change over time based on how someone responds and what feels helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions, while others may need different pacing or preparation. Tyler will discuss what to expect and how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and therapeutic goals.
