Kyle Short, LMHC

Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with ten years of experience. He works with adults and adolescents who face overlapping challenges like substance use and persistent mental health concerns. Kyle presents therapy as a practical process aimed at change and personal growth. He speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

Kyle’s approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. He blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-focused ideas to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. He also uses client-centered listening and motivational techniques to help people clarify goals and find motivation for change.

In sessions he tends to be direct but empathic, helping people break problems into manageable steps. He often supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. He also addresses issues like body image, commitment problems, fatherhood concerns, and obsessive behaviors.

Kyle has worked with individuals facing co-occurring disorders where substance use and mental health problems overlap. That background informs how he helps people prioritize safety, stability, and realistic next steps. He frames change as gradual work and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.

For a parent reading on a phone, he aims to make sessions practical and clear. To start, visitors complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Kyle’s approaches shape online work

Kyle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals, and it can help with anxiety, mood problems, and life changes.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. CBT offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits, useful for depression, anxiety, and some obsessive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kyle will work with each person to see which methods match their needs and goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. He encourages practical homework and short experiments so people can test what helps between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone attend when they are away from their usual location. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your routine and goals.
