About Kyle

Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with a decade of clinical experience. He has worked extensively with adults and adolescents facing co-occurring challenges, including substance use alongside serious, persistent mental health conditions.

Background and approach

Kyle approaches therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people navigate change and pursue meaningful growth. Drawing on several evidence-informed methods, Kyle creates a practical, client-focused environment where the aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

He works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. His background includes helping clients address issues like body image, shame and guilt, isolation, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Kyle emphasizes a supportive therapeutic relationship and meets people where they are while guiding them toward clearer values and workable coping strategies. He blends acceptance-based and cognitive tools with motivational and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth and Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation, a useful fit for substance use and other behavior change goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kyle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and on the client's feedback, so the process stays practical and goal-oriented.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend consistently, experiment with strategies between meetings, and maintain continuity of care from locations across Florida.
