Kyle Short, LMHC

Kyle Short is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of experience. He has worked with adults and adolescents facing co-occurring disorders, including substance use alongside persistent mental health concerns. Kyle focuses on helping people make real changes when life feels overwhelming or stuck.

He uses clear, practical methods in sessions so people can try things that help right away. Conversations aim to identify what matters to the person and build steps toward that life. Kyle draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to guide the process.

Clients who come to him often bring stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, or struggles with addiction. He also addresses concerns like body image, eating issues, obsessive behaviors, relationship difficulty, ADHD, and feelings of isolation. Kyle helps people untangle patterns and make changes that fit their daily life.

Sessions combine practical skill-building with space to process difficult feelings. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and keep momentum. The work is collaborative - the person and Kyle decide what to try next.

Kyle invites people who want steady, relatable support during change. He encourages honest conversation about setbacks and progress, and focuses on helping each person move toward the life they want.

How Kyle’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and the distress that comes after trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with mood, OCD patterns, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience in the room and uses empathic listening to support insight and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kyle will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort. He mixes techniques as needed and checks in to make sure the plan still fits as progress happens.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. They can also allow people to use visual tools and worksheets in-session without printing.
