Kyle Thompson, LPC

Kyle Thompson is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, addictions, and major life changes. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Kyle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches in sessions. He often teaches practical skills that people can use right away, like strategies for reducing anxious thoughts and building better sleep patterns.

His background includes a long practice of yoga and meditation that informs how he works. He has taught yoga since 2003 and blends breath work and relaxation practices with talk therapy when that fits a person’s goals.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable steps. Kyle helps people set goals, try small changes, and check what does or doesn’t work. He also uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to support people making changes around substances or habits.

Kyle works with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, relationship strain, career questions, and questions around sexuality and LGBT issues. He also addresses co-occurring problems like ADHD, panic attacks, and substance use while helping people find their life purpose and manage midlife or career transitions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on living according to their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where getting clear on priorities matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes homework tasks like trying new behaviors or tracking thoughts to reduce panic, social anxiety, and low mood.

Kyle will treat finding the right approach as a joint process. He works with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs and goals. Early sessions usually clarify what’s most important and set small, testable steps to see what helps.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives flexibility for different days and tasks. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or an easier check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing over speaking.
