About David

David Tyler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licenses in Tennessee and Missouri and over 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and career issues, as well as self-esteem and motivation. His work includes support around addiction, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and a broad range of life changes.

David centers sessions on what a person already does well. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then try practical alternatives. Conversation is straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to strengths that can be used to make changes.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential ideas. He also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques when they fit a person's goals. Sessions often include structured exercises, thought records, and experiments outside of sessions to test new ways of responding.

David aims to be realistic and curious in sessions. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and then works with clients to interrupt those patterns. Many people find that pairing clear steps with regular practice helps reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

He works with individuals on a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and substance use struggles. For people facing major life transitions or identity questions, he uses direct conversation and reflective questions to clarify values and next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

David often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT includes clear, short exercises and homework tasks that work well in remote sessions and between meetings.

He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify a person’s priorities. Existential elements involve asking direct questions about values and meaning to help when people face major life choices or identity concerns.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss what seems most useful based on a person's goals and preferences, and adjust techniques over time. Clients and therapist try methods and then review what helped most to shape future sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions convenient for fitting counseling into workdays, reducing travel, and keeping appointments consistent during busy periods. If specific session types matter to you, check the available options when you schedule.
