About Tynese

She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes. Tynese brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work.

She keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations are respectful and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set concrete goals and small steps forward.

Background and approach

Tynese draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates dialectical skills and emotionally-focused techniques when relationships and intense emotions need attention.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is part of her approach for people processing traumatic memories. Hypnotherapy is also available as an option when someone is curious to try it. She practices in Kentucky and holds licenses as an LCSW and an LMSW.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what a person can do between meetings. Tynese invites people ready to take steps toward change to start with a simple conversation about what matters most to them.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, so sessions begin with listening and follow the client's pace to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their history, current goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
