About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 10 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, codependency, addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and related problems.
Tyler uses a strengths-based outlook and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. He talks with clients about values and goals and helps them notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions move between immediate problem-solving and looking at deeper experiences tied to attachment, abandonment, or past losses.
His work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters and take deliberate action. He also uses EMDR and trauma-focused work when trauma memories or dissociation are present. Solution-Focused therapy elements help create quick, usable changes for pressing issues.
Tyler aims to be straightforward and down-to-earth in sessions. He asks direct questions and offers concrete techniques people can try between meetings. He helps clients set limits, strengthen boundaries, and rebuild a sense of self after relying too much on others.
People come to him for help with parenting stress, caregiver strain, navigating blended family dynamics, and coping with addiction or domestic violence aftereffects. He also supports those dealing with emptiness, avoidant personality patterns, commitment concerns, and communication problems.

How sessions work
How Tyler blends therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters most. It uses values work and small committed actions to shift behavior toward what someone cares about. EMDR, when used, focuses on processing traumatic memories that continue to cause distress and can reduce the intensity of those memories over time. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change, often used with addiction or when motivation is mixed.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tyler will discuss different approaches with clients and choose what fits a person's goals and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a hectic day, or remove the need for camera use when someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals can use these practical arrangements to keep therapy accessible while focusing on values, trauma processing, and motivation in everyday contexts.
