How Tyler Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Tyler commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help people address painful thoughts and memories. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts, clarifying personal values, and taking committed actions that reflect those values. EMDR works with distressing memories and aims to reduce their emotional intensity through structured processing.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, especially around addiction or difficult habits. These methods are described and tried collaboratively so the person can decide what fits best. Tyler will work with clients to pick approaches that match their goals and comfort level rather than prescribing one method up front.
