About Kyle
Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, anger, addiction concerns, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, relationship and sexual concerns, and questions about identity and purpose.
Kyle uses straightforward talk therapy combined with practical skills. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to reduce reactivity and increase focus on chosen values.
His background includes a long history with yoga and meditation. That experience informs breathing and relaxation exercises he teaches in sessions. Those tools are used alongside therapy to manage stress, reduce tension, and calm the body when anger or anxiety rises.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and short-term skills as well as longer exploration when needed. Kyle describes sessions as collaborative - he helps people set targets, practice new responses, and track progress over time. He also draws on motivational interviewing when people are making changes related to substance use or other habits.
Kyle works with common co-occurring issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and grief alongside addiction and relationship strain. People meeting him can expect practical strategies, steady discussion, and simple exercises to try between sessions.
How Kyle uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting boxed in by them. It helps people who are stuck reacting to anger or avoidance to choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and gives step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anger linked to thought traps and workplace or relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body when frustration rises; these skills fit well for sleep problems and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on current goals and what the client prefers. That may mean trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting step by step.

Kyle pairs talk-based methods with short practical exercises and breathing techniques that translate well to remote sessions.
