Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify priorities and build small, useful changes that fit daily life. Tynese uses methods that emphasize the client’s perspective and skill-building. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions.
She can include EMDR for trauma work when appropriate. Her style is hands-on and collaborative. She listens first, then offers options and short-term strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
She respects a person’s pace and adjusts focus as needs shift over time. Originally licensed in both Kentucky and Michigan, she holds LCSW and LMSW credentials. Tynese welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports LGBTQ concerns and topics related to sexuality and identity.
She emphasizes finding realistic steps that fit each person’s life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client, helping parents and individuals set their own goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills useful for intense feelings and relationship conflicts.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. Over time they adjust techniques based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for interactive skill work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or people who prefer writing between appointments. These options let people fit support into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
