About David

David Tyler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Tennessee and Missouri with 10 years of counseling experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, grief, parenting, and anger among other life challenges.

He helps people talk through what feels stuck and looks for strengths they already have. Sessions tend to center on practical steps and clear conversation rather than technical jargon. He aims to keep conversations grounded and straightforward so clients can make usable changes between sessions.

In practice he draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. He also uses narrative and existential ideas to look at meaning and values, and mindfulness to slow down strong reactions. Those approaches are used to address problems like relationship conflict, anger, addictive patterns, or low motivation.

David tends to notice what is working for a person first, then helps apply those strengths to real problems. He describes himself as optimistic, curious, and relaxed in sessions. That style is meant to help people try out different ways of responding without feeling judged.

People reach out for help with specific issues such as communication problems, control struggles, abandonment concerns, or career transitions. He also works with grief, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and other overlapping difficulties. If someone wants to begin, they follow the usual intake steps to match and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How his approaches adapt to online sessions

David often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they can clarify their own goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps spot thought patterns and test practical changes in behavior to reduce anger and anxiety.

He may also draw on elements of existential or narrative work to examine meaning and personal stories when someone wants to understand why certain patterns persist. Those approaches help with issues like relationship conflict, life transitions, or persistent resentment by opening up alternative ways to tell one’s story and decide on next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and focused on daily situations where anger shows up.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets to remote sessions to support progress in everyday life.
