More about Ty

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi! I'm Ty! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have been working in the mental health field for 17 years. I have a wide range of experience, counseling adolescents and adults, as well as conducting marriage and family therapy. I have extensive training and experience in the areas of mood and personality disorders, trauma, and addiction. I have a keen understanding of how these, as well as other life issues impact an individual and his or her family.

I am passionate about helping others and my fun personality and sense of humor assure your counseling experience will be helpful and enjoyable. Whatever the issue or situation you may be experiencing, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I tend to use a client-centered approach to ensure that clients feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. I also work from a cognitive-behavioral framework to help clients understand how their negative and unhelpful thinking can impact their behaviors and life choices.

In my time away from counseling, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children as well as other family and friends. I am an avid runner and yogi. I like most outdoor activities, and music of all kinds, especially country. I value hard work and keeping commitments. I am also very enthusiastic about cute shoes and big jewelry.

I commend your courage for seeking help to reach your life goals, and I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
