About Tyson
Tyson Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and parenting concerns, addictions, phobias, and other life changes people bring into therapy.
Tyson uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. He listens first, then helps people set goals and try small changes that fit daily life. Sessions focus on specific steps people can use between meetings, such as noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and building new habits.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people reduce unhelpful thinking and act on what matters to them. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness and calm, and Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change. Client-Centered Therapy guides how he listens and responds.
Tyson has worked with people affected by trauma, relationship conflict, workplace stress, and parenting strain. He also supports those facing loneliness, grief, or challenges tied to identity and culture. His practice avoids labels and focuses on practical steps that feel doable.
Sessions are based in Wisconsin and are conducted in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that fit those values, even when anxiety or hard thoughts are present. It uses short exercises and real-life experiments to test what helps, which can be practiced between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with behavioral experiments. It often includes homework like thought records, behavioral experiments, and gradual exposure for fears or social situations.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can be brief and woven into daily routines to support concentration and calm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tyson will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. He adjusts exercises and pacing based on feedback and progress.
