About Kyle

Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, anger, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, relationship strain, and issues around sexuality and identity.

Kyle keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. His background includes long-term practice in yoga and meditation, and he integrates breathing and relaxation techniques into sessions when they fit the person's goals.

In a typical meeting he helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of responding, and build small daily habits that reduce reactivity. Conversations are task-oriented at times, and exploratory at others, depending on what someone needs that week. He aims to break big problems into manageable steps rather than overwhelm clients with theory.

Kyle has worked with people coping with co-occurring problems such as substance use and mood disorders. He offers practical tools for anger and frustration, including skills to lower physiological arousal, shift thinking patterns, and practice acceptance of difficult feelings while acting on chosen values.

Sessions are offered in English and Kyle accepts international clients. He uses his clinical approaches to help people set clear goals, track progress, and make changes that fit day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can support learning how to accept difficult feelings while committing to small behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and moods. In remote sessions, CBT usually involves setting homework, tracking reactions, and reviewing results together.

Kyle takes a collaborative approach to selecting methods. He will discuss approaches with each client and adjust the mix of ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing based on goals and preferences. Figuring out what fits is part of the early work rather than a one-time decision.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, practice skills in real time between meetings, and use guided breathing or mindfulness exercises during sessions without travel. Ask about the exact session formats offered when scheduling so arrangements match your routine and needs.
