Background and approach
Conversations tend to be down-to-earth and goal oriented. Tyler emphasizes small, doable steps that fit into daily life. His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with trauma-informed tools.
He also uses EMDR and solution-focused strategies when those fit a person's needs. The mix of methods is chosen to match the concern and the person's preferences. Sessions begin by mapping goals, values, and immediate concerns.
Tyler helps people notice what gets in the way of their goals and then practices new ways of responding. He often uses short exercises, clear homework, and check-ins to track progress. People who prefer a calm, practical clinician will find his style approachable.
Tyler keeps language simple and focuses on real changes people can use. He works with adults and older adolescents to build skills for better coping and healthier relationships.
How Tyler’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises, values work, and practical strategies to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful routine.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and the feelings tied to them through structured processing. In remote sessions this involves guided recall and bilateral stimulation tools adapted for video or phone formats to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person’s own motivation, which pairs well with goal-setting in shorter online check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tyler will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress is tracked and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or ongoing tracking of progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
