About Kyle

Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions. He offers practical support for depression, bipolar concerns, sleep trouble, anger, grief, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT wellbeing. Kyle also focuses on men’s issues and career or purpose questions, helping clients who feel stuck or unsure which step to take next.

Kyle draws on a mix of approaches in sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He pairs that with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-driven action. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to change habits like substance use.

His background includes a long personal practice of yoga and meditation, and he has taught yoga since 2003. That experience shapes how he teaches relaxation, breathing, and stress reduction techniques. He blends these tools into talk-based therapy so clients can practice them in daily life.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kyle aims to make therapy a space to learn skills, try new ways of coping, and set manageable steps. He works with each person to match the pace and focus to their needs.

Kyle is based in Michigan and communicates in English. He accepts international clients and draws on two decades of clinical work to support people facing transitions, co-morbid conditions, or concerns about addiction and recovery.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life-directed changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or social anxiety. It gives clear skills people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean blending ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational techniques over time rather than using only one method.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are currently offered, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can still allow skills teaching, structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, and coaching around habit change. They can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy works alongside work and family commitments.
