About Kyle
Kyle Thompson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also supports people facing career questions, relationship strain, questions about sexuality, and the challenges of mood disorders. Kyle is an LPC with 20 years of experience and practices from Michigan.
Kyle uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to set small, achievable goals.
How Kyle works
Sessions often include talking, learning new ways to respond to stress, and simple exercises to practice between meetings. His background includes a long personal and professional engagement with yoga and meditation. That history shows up in the tools he offers - breathing and relaxation skills, mindfulness practices, and ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.
He blends those tools with cognitive techniques to change unhelpful habits of thinking. Kyle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, client-centered listening, and mindfulness approaches. He helps people weigh options, find motivation, and stay focused on what matters to them.
He aims for practical change rather than jargon-filled explanations. People who work with him can expect a steady, down-to-earth style. He pays attention to life context and co-occurring problems like substance use or overlapping mood issues.
The work often looks like short-term goal setting mixed with ongoing skill building and check-ins on progress.

Online support options
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to clarify what matters and small steps to move toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT typically involves structured work on thought records, behavior experiments, and skill practice that can be done between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness techniques, or a mix fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist observe expressions and teach exercises face to face. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching moments, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum toward goals.
