Specializations

Areas Where I Can Help

Every challenge you're facing deserves thoughtful, evidence-based support. Here's where I specialize — tailored to adults navigating life's complexities.

Anxiety & Stress

Racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension — anxiety can feel all-consuming. We'll identify the roots of your anxiety and build practical strategies to quiet the noise and reclaim your calm.

Depression & Low Mood

When everything feels heavy and motivation is nowhere to be found, it can be hard to see a way forward. Together we'll gently unpack what's underneath and find pathways back to meaning.

Grief & Loss

Loss reshapes us. Whether it's a person, a relationship, a chapter of life, or an identity — grief deserves real space. I'll walk alongside you through the process with compassion and care.

Relationship Challenges

Patterns in relationships — with partners, family, friends, or yourself — can feel impossible to break. We'll work to understand the dynamics at play and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Workplace Challenges

As a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I specialize in career burnout, workplace conflict, and professional difficulties. Your work life affects your whole life — and you deserve support for it.

Substance Use & Habits

Struggling with substances or habits you want to change? Through Motivational Interviewing and a judgment-free approach, we'll explore your readiness for change and build meaningful momentum at your own pace.

About Your Therapist

Meet Kyle

LMHC & CEAP | Founder, Palmetto Counseling & Wellness

I know what it's like to sit in that chair. I've been a client myself — and I still remember the feeling of saying something out loud for the first time. Something lifted. I felt lighter. That experience is part of why I do what I do.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP). My practice is entirely online, offering you a highly accessible, convenient, and confidential space to focus on your well-being — from the comfort of your own home.

I specialize in working with adults navigating life's complexities: anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and substance use. With my unique background as a CEAP, I also bring extensive experience in workplace stress, career burnout, and professional difficulties.

My Approach

Warm. Engaging. Solution-Focused.

I'm not the kind of therapist who sits back and quietly nods. I'm actively in your corner — asking intentional questions, offering tools, and working toward real solutions alongside you.

You're Heard First

Our first sessions are focused on truly understanding you — your story, your goals, and what life looks like when things feel right. No rushing to "fix" before we understand.

Tools That Actually Work

Using evidence-based methods like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness — translated into practical, everyday language — we build a toolkit that's uniquely yours.

Real-World Action

Between sessions, I love giving collaborative "homework" — small, intentional steps that create real-world change, not just insight that stays on the couch.

Therapeutic Methods

How We'll Work Together

Every method I use is grounded in research and chosen for how it translates into real-life change. Here's what that looks like in plain language:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

We look at the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — and work to replace patterns that aren't serving you with ones that actually do.

Motivational Interviewing

Not ready to change? That's okay. This gentle, collaborative approach helps you explore your own reasons for change — without pressure or judgment.

Mindfulness Techniques

Practical, grounding tools to bring you back to the present moment — reducing overwhelm and building the resilience to face life's challenges.

Growth Is Possible

Every Palmetto Starts as a Single Seed

Just like the resilient palmetto — Florida's symbol of strength — the work we do together builds from the ground up. Each session is a root taking hold. Each breakthrough, a frond reaching toward light.

Who I Work With

Made For Everyone
navigating real life.

My practice is especially well-suited for adults who are navigating the full complexity of modern life: relationships, career pressures, aging parents, identity, and everything in between.

Relationship Navigators

Working through partnership challenges, family dynamics, or patterns you're ready to break.

High-Achieving Professionals

Managing career burnout, workplace stress, or the pressure of always performing at 100%.

Life Transition Seekers

Navigating grief, major life changes, aging parents, or periods of uncertainty and flux.

Anxiety Warriors

Tired of overthinking, spiraling thoughts, and the relentless hum of anxiety in the background.

A note on fit: I refer out cases involving eating disorders, severe active addiction requiring medical detox, crisis situations requiring immediate intervention, or high-acuity presentations involving psychosis. Your safety and getting the right level of care always comes first.

Getting Started

When You Reach Out

Reach Out

Send me an email or call/text to get started. I'll respond quickly to set up your first conversation.

First Session — Getting to Know You

Our first sessions are intentionally collaborative and welcoming. I'll ask thoughtful questions to understand your goals, your story, and what "better" looks like for you.

We Build Your Plan Together

We move from listening to doing. You'll leave sessions with real tools and meaningful homework to create change in your everyday life — not just on the call.

Ongoing Progress & Flexibility

As you grow, our sessions evolve with you. Some clients come weekly, others bi-weekly. We'll find the rhythm that works for your life.
