David Tyler, LPC

David Tyler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with more than 10 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem, career hurdles, and addiction concerns. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and start making changes.

He emphasizes identifying each person's strengths and using those strengths to address current problems. Sessions are relaxed and grounded, with a straightforward, curious style. He brings optimism and steady support while helping clients set realistic steps forward.

In sessions he listens first, then helps people try practical tools to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. He draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness practices to improve moment-to-moment coping. Narrative and client-centered approaches shape conversations about values and identity.

People often come for help with life transitions, grief, caregiving stress, or struggles around commitment and communication. He also works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness like cancer, and substance use problems. The aim is to strengthen coping and build confidence over time.

Getting started involves picking a small first goal and trying a few approaches to see what fits. He encourages practical homework and steady progress rather than quick fixes. The overall focus is on helping clients feel more capable and in control of day-to-day challenges.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client's own goals. It helps people feel heard and builds confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and meaning when facing life transitions or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments are made over time based on what helps the person make progress.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with appointments and apply new skills between meetings.
