How Tyler's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, self esteem, and life transitions. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms; it is often used when trauma or abuse is central to a person's difficulties. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation for change and is practical for substance use, ambivalence about change, and goal setting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tyler will talk with a client about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. He adjusts techniques over time based on progress and what the client finds helpful.
