David Tyler, LPC

David Tyler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. He practices in Tennessee and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also supports clients dealing with career challenges, self-esteem, motivation, and addiction concerns.

He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their thoughts and feelings. His work emphasizes strengths that a person already has and uses those strengths to meet current challenges. He aims to be compassionate and optimistic while staying grounded and practical.

In sessions he listens closely and asks curious questions to help people see patterns and options. He combines practical tools with conversations about meaning and choices. That mix can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when old habits keep getting in the way.

David uses several approaches to encourage change, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and existential perspectives. He helps people connect how they think, what they do, and the stories they tell about themselves. These methods support work on issues from grief and trauma to intimacy and caregiver stress.

His additional focus includes aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and codependency. He invites a collaborative process so each person finds a path that fits their life and values.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-based relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people feel heard. This approach is useful for building trust and for work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and caregiving stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Existential therapy invites conversations about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help people facing big life transitions, grief, or questions tied to aging and long-term caregiving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This happens through discussion and short trials of techniques to see what fits.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different ways of working from wherever they are and adapt sessions to everyday life.
