About Kyle
Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with anger, sleep problems, ADHD, and questions about sexuality and identity.
Kyle uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He draws on motivational interviewing to help people find what matters to them and make steady changes.
Sessions often include breath-based relaxation and movement-informed practices influenced by yoga. Kyle has taught yoga since 2003 and brings those relaxation and stress-reduction techniques into many therapy sessions. He focuses on concrete skills people can practice between meetings.
People meet with him to sort through complicated emotions, cope with transitions, or reduce problem behaviors like substance use. He works in a straightforward way - noticing what isn't working, trying small alternatives, and adjusting based on what helps.
His approach treats mood and behavior together when they overlap. He pays attention to co-morbidity such as addiction with mood issues and to practical life problems like career strain or divorce and separation. Sessions aim to be readable and usable in everyday life rather than full of jargon.
How sessions work
How Kyle blends evidence-based methods for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that line up with those values. It is useful for managing anxiety, grief, and life transitions by shifting attention from rigid control to meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It teaches specific skills for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and sleeping problems through experiments and homework. Mindfulness-based practices use simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation; these are often paired with movement-informed relaxation drawn from yoga.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. They will adjust techniques over time so sessions remain practical and focused on what helps most.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems happen, which can help generalize learning into everyday life.
