About Kyle
Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, relationship concerns, and identity questions related to LGBT issues. He also addresses trauma, grief, eating and body image concerns, anger, and ADHD.
Kyle has practiced with people facing co-occurring concerns, including substance use alongside persistent mental health difficulties. He uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals, skills to manage symptoms, and steps that fit day-to-day life.
His approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. These approaches aim to help someone notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and increase actions that match personal values.
Kyle often works with people dealing with life transitions - leaving home, first jobs, study pressures, and relationship changes. He also addresses longer-term mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, and problems tied to substance use and compulsive behaviors.
Sessions combine listening with practical exercises and short-term planning. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people decide on next steps and stay motivated. The emphasis is on usable skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles by shifting focus from symptom control to meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches specific strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, mood difficulties, and compulsive behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive conversation where the person leads what they want to work on. It supports self-reflection and helps people find their own solutions to relationship, identity, and life-change concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kyle will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting them as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions that avoid travel time, or an option that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday life.
