About Kyle

Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and major life transitions. He also helps with sleep difficulties, addiction concerns, relationship and family stress, and questions about sexuality and identity.

Kyle uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and acceptance-based exercises. He also offers approaches that draw on yoga-informed relaxation and stress reduction techniques he has practiced and taught since 2003.

Sessions tend to focus on simple skills you can use between meetings. Kyle helps people build routines, manage mood swings, reduce panic, and sleep better by trying short, doable changes. He also supports people working through grief, career decisions, or midlife challenges.

His style is calm and direct. He listens first, then helps set clear, short-term goals. Many sessions include breathing, grounding, or brief behavioral experiments to test what helps in everyday life.

Kyle trained and taught yoga for many years, and that background informs his approach to relaxation and body-based strategies. He brings two decades of counseling experience in Michigan to sessions and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can make steady changes even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, panic, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress during daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can shift over time as small experiments show what helps most in real life.

To plan online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so they suit your routine. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel, and make it easier to maintain regular check-ins. Online sessions can also allow shorter follow-ups, focused skill practice, or guided relaxation exercises that are simple to use between meetings.
