About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with ten years of clinical experience practicing in Washington. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce conflict and manage strong feelings.
Tyler uses straightforward methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused work. He helps people identify what matters to them, try concrete strategies, and notice what does or does not help. Conversations aim to be direct and useful rather than theoretical.
In sessions he looks at patterns that keep frustration and resentment cycling. That can mean practicing specific coping skills, learning short behavioral changes, or addressing past events that continue to affect reactions. Tyler explains techniques and then practices them together with the client so new responses feel doable.
He also pays attention to role stresses such as parenting demands, caregiver strain, work pressure, or relationship friction. This includes looking at communication habits, boundaries, and ways to reduce emotional burnout when responsibilities pile up.
Tyler asks about values and goals early on so therapy stays focused on what the client wants to change. He encourages small, measurable steps and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tyler uses specific approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions that align with them. It helps when anger shows up as frustration with life or when someone wants clearer priorities and steadier responses. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress tied to past events by processing upsetting memories so they feel less activating. It is often used when trauma or early hurts continue to fuel emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tyler will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist check progress and pick methods that fit the clients needs and comfort level rather than sticking to a single model.

It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and return to sessions without rearranging as much in-person time.
