David Tyler, LPC

David Tyler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He is licensed in Tennessee and brings a straightforward, calm manner to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and career concerns. He aims to build an atmosphere where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

He focuses on helping people identify their existing strengths and use those strengths to move past obstacles. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what feels doable day to day. He blends listening with gentle curiosity to help clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior.

People often come for help managing overwhelming emotions, coping with life changes, or handling relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting strains, work burnout, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT matters. Additional areas of attention include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and caregiving stress.

Clinically, he draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and existential thinking to shape sessions. That means conversations can include exploring unhelpful thought patterns, noticing habits, and telling the story of what led someone to this moment.

He aims to be practical and encouraging rather than prescriptive. The focus is on steps people can try between sessions and on building confidence to handle real situations. The therapist’s style is calm, curious, and optimistic while staying grounded in realistic goals.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and use their own strengths to face problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. It offers simple exercises to test and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps pick techniques and ways of working that fit the person's life and needs.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid needing to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals can use mindfulness exercises, thought-restructuring practices, and narrative exercises in virtual sessions so progress can continue between appointments.
