Getting to know Kyle Galer

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, neurodivergence, and life stress. Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in recurring patterns, or unsure how to move forward — even when they are high-functioning or have strong insight. My approach is collaborative, structured, and supportive. I draw primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), while tailoring treatment to each client’s strengths, goals, and real-world stressors. Therapy with me focuses on building practical skills, increasing emotional awareness, and creating meaningful change that extends beyond the therapy session. I aim to provide a space that feels professional, respectful, and grounded, where clients can feel understood while also being gently challenged to grow.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often describe my style as calm, engaged, and straightforward. I take time to understand what is bringing you to therapy now, while also paying attention to patterns, stressors, and supports in your life. Sessions are active and collaborative — we work together rather than just talking at one another. I believe therapy should be both supportive and useful. That means we may practice coping strategies, break down difficult situations, and look closely at thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. I also value honesty and feedback, and I encourage clients to share what is and is not working so we can adjust as needed. Whether you are new to therapy or returning after previous experiences, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, respected, and clear about the process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with an initial session focused on understanding your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This includes discussing current symptoms, stressors, and what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. From there, we collaborate on a treatment plan that feels realistic and aligned with your needs. Ongoing sessions typically include check-ins on symptoms and stressors, skill development, and discussion of current challenges. Depending on your goals, this may involve learning coping strategies, practicing emotional regulation skills, examining thought patterns, or preparing for difficult conversations or situations. Progress is reviewed regularly, and treatment is adjusted over time as goals are met or priorities change. My aim is for sessions to feel focused, supportive, and relevant to your day-to-day life.
