Background and approach
He is licensed as an LPC in West Virginia (WV LPC 2749) and Virginia (VA LPC 0701013444). In sessions he keeps conversations direct and grounded. He listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s goals and strengths.
Practical tools and clear next steps are emphasized alongside emotional processing. Kyle uses somatic-informed work that pays attention to bodily experience alongside thoughts and feelings. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice what matters and build steadier relationships.
Over five years of practice have included helping clients with trauma, grief, chronic stress, and caregiver burnout. He frames therapy as collaborative coaching and therapeutic work so clients can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Kyle offers a direct, compassionate approach and adapts pace to each person.
He aims to empower people to make choices that reflect their values and to regain a sense of momentum in daily life.
Approaches that translate to online care
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and uses gentle awareness and grounding to help people notice and shift patterns. This can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and stress by bringing attention to breath, posture, and bodily signals.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes clarifying values and taking practical steps toward them while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than symptom elimination.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In online sessions this approach helps people identify interaction habits and try new ways of relating to increase closeness and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose strategies and adjust them over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during moves or travel, and try different formats to see what feels most comfortable. Many people find the variety helps them stay consistent and get more out of therapy.
