About Kyle
Kyle Thompson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan, he talks with adults about mood concerns, grief, relationship stress, and challenges related to sexuality and identity. His style is straightforward and practical, aimed at finding useful steps you can try between sessions.
Kyle blends talk therapy with mindfulness and breathing practices drawn from his long experience as a yoga teacher.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple relaxation exercises and skills you can use when anxiety or anger flare up. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thought patterns and try different ways of responding. People working with Kyle can expect a calm, steady approach that focuses on what matters to them now.
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients name values and take small actions toward them. Motivational Interviewing supports change when someone is feeling stuck or unsure about next steps. Over two decades of practice shape his pacing and choices in session.
He often helps those dealing with co-occurring problems like substance use and mood disorders, and supports people navigating divorce, career shifts, or midlife questions. Language used in sessions is plain and direct to make tools easy to remember. Kyle offers video, phone, chat, and text formats for therapy.
That flexibility helps when life is busy or travel is difficult. He works with clients who want both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal growth.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take small, concrete steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, mood disorders, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may combine ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools as needed rather than sticking to one method only.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or people who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins.
