David Tyler, LPC

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

He centers therapy on identifying and building the strengths clients already have. Sessions often involve clarifying goals, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing small changes that fit into daily life. David describes his style as compassionate, optimistic, relaxed, and curious, while staying grounded in practical steps.

People come to him for a range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those facing issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, and substance use problems. He works with people exploring sexual identity and LGBT-related concerns.

His clinical approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential ideas, mindfulness practices, and narrative work. These approaches guide conversations and exercises rather than dictating a fixed plan.

David emphasizes partnership in the work. He helps people sort out what matters most, set achievable steps, and track progress over time. For many, therapy with him becomes a space to regain confidence, find clearer direction, and cope with life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

David often draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance and helps people find their own solutions by focusing on strengths and values. This approach is useful for building confidence and sorting out personal priorities.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stressful reactions to life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. David will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of blending methods. Decisions about what to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is tracked.

If you plan to pursue online sessions, please confirm available session options before booking. The therapist can discuss how remote work might fit your schedule and goals. Many people find online therapy helps them fit appointments into busy days, saves travel time, and supports steady progress without major changes to routines.
