About Tyler

Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, codependency, and a wide range of relationship and life concerns. His style is down-to-earth and strengths-focused, and he aims to help people move toward clearer values and healthier patterns.

Tyler centers sessions on what matters most to each person. He works with clients to identify priorities, set practical goals, and build small, doable steps toward change. He often blends approaches so the work fits each person's needs rather than forcing one method on everyone.

His background includes a decade of practice across outpatient settings, supporting people who face trauma, addiction, caregiver strain, and transitions like divorce or relocation. He brings experience helping people with attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges linked to ADHD and executive functioning.

In sessions Tyler uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when appropriate. He focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and coping strategies people can use between meetings.

Tyler practices in Washington and sees adults and adolescents. He conducts therapy in English. People who want to begin can expect a straightforward intake, collaborative goal-setting, and a focus on building sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tyler often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and build small, values-guided actions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and taking steps toward a meaningful life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used for people processing traumatic memories; it involves structured sessions to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and associated reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tyler will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to recommend approaches that fit. He adjusts methods over time so the work stays useful and aligned with each person's needs.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what is available. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to connect without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and EMDR elements to remote sessions when appropriate, and Tyler focuses on practical tools that people can use between meetings.
