About Kyle
Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of experience helping people who face mood challenges and substance use concerns. Kyle works with adults and adolescents and focuses on practical steps toward change.
Kyle’s style is straightforward and collaborative. He treats change as a process and helps people break it into small, manageable steps. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from him, and he uses conversations that build motivation and clear goals.
He draws on several evidence-based approaches to match the needs of each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people live with difficult emotions while acting on their values. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness to change for those dealing with addiction or ambivalence.
Kyle has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, eating and body-image concerns, and grief. He also helps with substance use, anger, stress, ADHD, relationship strain, and trauma. Additional focus areas include issues like abandonment, fatherhood concerns, first responder strain, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Sessions aim to combine practical tools with steady support. Kyle helps people set doable goals, practice new skills, and track progress. He encourages honest conversations and keeps the pace focused on what each person needs to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on listening and guiding conversations that build the desire to change; it helps when someone feels uncertain about taking steps toward recovery or letting go of harmful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that align with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, blending techniques from different approaches when that helps progress.
Details about available session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera when a person prefers audio-only conversations. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which ways of meeting will best support making steady progress. -
