About Kyle
Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He has worked extensively with adults experiencing co-occurring disorders, including substance use alongside persistent mental health challenges.
Background and approach
Kyle approaches therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people navigate difficult transitions and build sustainable change in their lives. His style blends evidence-based methods with an emphasis on practical skill building and personal values.
Kyle draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and he uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to support emotional flexibility and genuine self-exploration. He also incorporates motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when helping people address addictive behaviors, mood concerns, or adjustment after loss or trauma.
Kyle works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image issues, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. His approach is aimed at guiding clients through change with practical tools and steady support tailored to individual goals and circumstances.
Approaches that Guide Online Work and Progress
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive patterns, and many mood-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action, which can help with persistent distress, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and goals at their own pace.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan feels useful and doable.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, apply skills in real time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to offer care across distances.
