About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. He has ten years of clinical experience helping adults and adolescents with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and grief. Tyler focuses on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life.
He uses clear, strengths-based work that aims to build skills and hope. Sessions emphasize values, concrete goals, and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Tyler listens for what matters most and helps people try new ways of managing hard moments. His background includes work with trauma, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and caregiver stress. He draws on a mix of methods including acceptance and commitment ideas, trauma-focused practices, and solution-focused strategies.
These approaches are used to fit each person’s situation rather than as a one-size-fits-all plan. Tyler takes a collaborative, down-to-earth style. He helps people name priorities, test what works, and adjust plans as they go.
That practical focus is meant to reduce overwhelm and make progress more visible. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The usual process is to pick a plan, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule times that fit day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values even with difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by focusing on actions that match personal priorities.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of painful memories and the emotions tied to them. It is used when past events continue to cause strong reactions and interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, EMDR, or a solution-focused strategy is the best place to start and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules change.
