My name is Tyler Flynn, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I value a person-centered approach when conducting therapy, focusing on an individual client’s aspirations and needs.
My approach
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing, as well as a Trauma-informed approach to therapy.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, communication issues, boundary-setting issues, and challenges in processing emotions. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we’ll work together to set goals and track your progress.
My first session with you
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you’ve been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward
