About Kyle

Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, and relationship or career concerns. He speaks English and practices from Michigan, and he accepts international clients.

Kyle uses plain, practical methods in his sessions. He blends cognitive behavioral work with mindfulness and client-centered listening. He includes breathing, relaxation, and movement ideas drawn from his background as a long-time yoga teacher to help calm the body and steady the mind.

Sessions focus on small, useful steps. Kyle helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and set goals that match their values. He also uses motivational interviewing strategies to explore change and strengthen commitment when substance use or behavioral patterns get in the way.

His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. People who want concrete tools and steady support often find this style helpful. Kyle aims to make therapy practical so daily life feels more manageable between sessions.

With two decades of experience, Kyle brings a steady presence and a range of tools to each meeting. He encourages clients to try techniques in real situations and to adjust the plan as needed. To begin, he asks people to describe their current struggles and goals so they can build a clear path forward together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to lower stress and increase focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then he will suggest techniques and adjust the plan based on feedback so the process feels collaborative and responsive.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring those experiences back into session for discussion and adjustment.
