About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. He practices in Washington and works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career matters, depression, and ADHD.
Tyler uses straightforward, strengths-focused work. Sessions look at current goals and the practical steps that move someone toward them. He listens for what matters most and then helps people test small changes in daily life. The tone is down-to-earth and focused on what helps in the moment.
His approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix lets him combine present-focused skill building with trauma-informed techniques when needed. He explains methods in plain terms and checks in often about how something is going.
People often bring confusion about relationships, parenting strain, or long-standing anxiety. Tyler works to identify clear steps that reduce overwhelm and increase effective choices. He also supports people working through complicated grief, recovery from substance issues, and problems tied to attachment or abandonment themes.
Intake begins with identifying values and immediate concerns, then setting short-term targets. Tyler emphasizes practical tools you can try between sessions and reviews progress regularly. Sessions are paced to match what the individual can manage each week.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to resolve ambivalence and support change, often useful for addictions or behavior shifts.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Tyler will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift if something isn’t helping.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Depending on the format offered, sessions can focus on skill practice, processing traumatic memories with EMDR-informed steps, or short motivational conversations to support change.
