About Kyle
Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He works with adults on issues such as substance use, mood disorders, anxiety, anger, and the stress that comes with big life changes. He also lists areas like grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, and eating-related issues among his focus areas.
Kyle's background includes work with people who have co-occurring disorders - meaning substance use alongside persistent mental health concerns. He frames therapy around practical change. Sessions focus on clear steps, not jargon. Clients can expect a problem-solving mindset aimed at manageable progress.
His approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. Kyle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and make room for difficult feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is part of how he supports people working through addiction or readiness to change.
In sessions Kyle keeps things direct and collaborative. He helps people set small goals and work toward them week to week. He pays attention to how substance use and mood interact, and he helps people build everyday coping skills that reduce reactivity and regret.
People looking for practical work on anger, substance concerns, or mood problems will find an approach that focuses on actionable steps. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling through the site's matching process.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to act in line with what matters. It can help when anger or anxiety keeps someone from living the way they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternatives that change how a person responds emotionally. That approach is often useful for anger, depression, and anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kyle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean combining ACT for values-based change with CBT skills work, or using Motivational Interviewing when readiness to change is a focus.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins between in-person visits, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT homework and values exercises between meetings, so change continues outside sessions. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and practice to each person's routine and responsibilities.
