Background and approach
She draws on practical techniques to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Tyler often blends cognitive behavioral tools with attachment-based ideas. That combination helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then build new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Mindfulness skills are used to manage strong emotions and stay grounded during stress. She has nine years of experience in the mental health field and has worked with adults and adolescents around trauma, relationship conflict, and sexual or intimacy concerns. Tyler also addresses issues like eating concerns, body image, ADHD, grief, and caregiver stress.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. The work can include improving communication, setting boundaries, rebuilding trust after infidelity, and exploring identity and gender concerns. Tyler aims to help people regain perspective and move toward their goals.
How Tyler’s Approach Adapts to Online Therapy
Tyler blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers, which works well in video or phone sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which translates easily to short exercises and between-session practice. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and communicate, useful for intimacy, trust, and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tyler will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She will suggest ways to combine methods and adjust them as progress is made so therapy fits the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, chat works for brief support or notes between sessions, and messaging lets people share progress or ask questions outside scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
