    About Kyle

    Kyle Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career decisions, and questions about sexuality and identity.

    Kyle uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He listens without judgment and helps people identify small, doable steps forward. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach to help clarify what matters most and build commitment to change.

    His work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and client-centered listening. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action toward chosen values. Sessions may include breathing and relaxation strategies drawn from his long experience with yoga.

    Kyle has about 20 years of counseling experience and also teaches yoga, a practice he has led since 2003. That background informs his stress reduction exercises and body-aware tools for managing anxiety and chronic tension.

    People who choose Kyle can expect calm, practical guidance and help creating daily routines that support mood and focus. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

  2. How Kyle's approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment. It focuses on the person's values and small steps that feel doable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them by choosing actions that fit their values. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals, using empathic listening and reflection to make sense of problems and options.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, their goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize motivational techniques, ACT exercises, mindful practices, or cognitive tools.

    Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Some methods, like guided breathing, mindfulness exercises, values-based planning, and motivational conversations, transfer well to an online setting and can be used to support progress between sessions.
