Tyler R “T.R.” Elliott, M.Ed, LPC
My name is Tyler Elliott, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing a variety of mental health and life concerns. I have particular expertise in counseling for teens, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. I also work with clients experiencing ADHD, autism, anger, grief, low self-esteem, burnout, life transitions, and trauma.
My approach to counseling is collaborative, supportive, and "eclectic" (fancy word for "combined"), focused on helping clients better understand themselves while developing practical tools for meaningful change. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients better understand their values, make room for difficult thoughts and emotions, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want to build. I also draw from Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their own motivation for change and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to better understand the different emotional “parts” or patterns that may influence how they think, feel, and respond.
I take a humanistic and existential approach to counseling, recognizing each client's individual experiences, strengths, values, and sense of meaning. I believe therapy can be a place to better understand not only what you're struggling with, but also who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to move forward. I never approach therapy with a "one-size-fits-all" perspective, in an effort to help you further build upon your personal values, what drives you, and how to re-negotiate your relationship with the thoughts and emotions that might hold you back.
My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak openly, better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges.
