About

Hi there, I'm Tyler! My name is Tyler Lords and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW), Practicing telehealth therapy to residents in Hawaii. I work with teens and adults and specialize in working with people with anxiety, depression, life transitions, adjustment to medical conditions, LGBTQI+, and grief and loss using cognative behavioral therapy and other theraputic interventions to assist people in making progress in their concerns and allow them to start feeling better balanced at coping through life's transitions and challenges. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with as I use a patient centered approach. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Problem Solving Therapy to help each person feel better and make progress in their goals and their journey to wellness and healing. My focus I feel that I am a good fit for adults and teens who want to feel better and start to heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, and loss and grief. I have been a social worker in the medical setting for over 9 years and specialize in helping people adapt and cope in crisis and transitions, process of adjustment to illness, and grief and loss. My focus is to listen through unconditional positive regard and to strengthen my patients through building coping skills, utilizing and exploring their strengths, and finding solutions towards wellness and improved health. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable speaking with me about anything they are feeling or thinking. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment, and to make meaningful connections with others. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to be a therapist because I have always wanted to help people find balance and wellness in their life. I have spent most of my career working in hospitals, and clinics and helping people.
