About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience based in Washington. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBTQ issues, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career worries, depression, and ADHD.
Tyler uses straightforward, strengths-focused work. He helps people identify what matters to them and then builds practical steps toward those values. Sessions are down-to-earth and aimed at small, usable changes rather than abstract theory.
His background includes several trauma-focused approaches. He blends methods that address difficult memories with techniques that encourage present-moment choices and clearer communication. That mix can help when emotional pain is keeping daily life stuck.
In sessions he often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles with trauma-focused work and motivational interviewing to support movement on goals. He also uses solution-focused ideas to map quick steps forward when immediate problems arise.
People who come because of parenting strain or family conflict will find an emphasis on practical strategies for communication, boundaries, and caregiver stress. Tyler helps adults talk through parenting challenges and family-related worries while keeping attention on realistic next steps.
How sessions work
How Tyler blends approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when stress, anxiety, or parenting demands make it hard to focus on what matters. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with troubling memories to reduce their impact on current feelings and behavior. It can be useful when past events keep causing strong reactions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by clarifying reasons for change and building internal motivation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tyler will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That process may shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days, make it easier to have a shorter check-in between commitments, or remove travel time. Tyler uses the chosen therapeutic approaches to keep sessions focused on practical steps for parenting, relationships, and coping with life changes.
