About Tyler
Tyler Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Washington. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Tyler works with adults who want clearer coping tools and steadier emotional responses.
He keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Tyler draws on strengths clients already have and helps them build skills that fit daily life. Conversations tend to be down-to-earth and aimed at real changes rather than theoretical ideas.
Background and approach
Tyler uses methods that match the problem and the person. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for values-based change, EMDR work for trauma-related memories, and Motivational Interviewing for people wrestling with substance use or major life transitions. He also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.
Over a decade of clinical experience guides how he structures care. Tyler prioritizes listening first, then helping people pick a clear next step. Sessions often include practical exercises, short-term goals, and chances to rehearse new ways of responding.
People come to Tyler for many reasons: relationship strain, feeling stuck after loss, trouble managing anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, or work and career stress. He aims to help each person move toward clearer values, more effective coping, and steadier daily routines.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and practical actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, targets distressing memories and the reactions that follow them. In online sessions it combines structured processing with grounding techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their impact on daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and resolve mixed feelings, often useful for addictions, career shifts, or behavior change goals.
Tyler treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will discuss options, try techniques that match a client's goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls support face-to-face interaction for skills work and EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing encouragement between appointments. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
