About Tyler

Tyler Whitehead is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who draws from cognitive and humanistic approaches to support people facing relationship and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

With nine years of experience, Tyler combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and major life changes. She also brings focused work around intimacy and sexuality, including BDSM and kink-affirming care, and supports clients exploring gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.

Tyler’s practice addresses a wide range of issues such as grief, stress, ADHD, bipolar disorder, body image, eating concerns, and caregiver strain. She also assists with blended family dynamics, communication and commitment issues, infidelity, jealousy, and problems tied to chronic pain or illness.

Her collaborative style invites clients to identify goals and build practical coping strategies while attending to relational patterns and attachment wounds. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that centers their lived experience.

Tyler works with adolescents and adults to restore perspective, process trauma and loss, and cultivate healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Integrating evidence-based approaches through online therapy

Tyler commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, which focuses on how early relational patterns shape present-day connections and helps clients develop more supported ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Tyler approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to tailor a plan that may blend CBT, attachment work, and client-centered strategies so therapy fits each person's needs and pacing.

Online sessions make ongoing care more flexible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access consistent support around scheduling constraints, geographic distance, or comfort with different communication styles while working toward practical coping skills and relational insights.
