Online Counseling for Michigan Professionals, Business Owners, and Couples
When the pressure you carry starts affecting the life and relationships you’ve worked so hard to build, I can help.
Private, practical counseling for adults and couples dealing with stress, overthinking, recurring conflict, and emotional disconnection. Available by secure video throughout Michigan.
You handle a lot. But lately, it may feel like too much.
Most people don't reach out because life is going well. They reach out because the way they have been handling things is no longer working. Maybe the pressure follows you home. Maybe you and your partner keep circling the same argument. Maybe nothing looks especially wrong from the outside, but you know you are not doing as well as you appear.
Counseling can help you understand the patterns behind the problem, take an honest look at what is and is not working, and make changes that fit the life you actually live.
Choose the Support You Need
Individual Counseling
You’re used to being the person others depend on. However, carrying constant responsibility can lead to issues like anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, overthinking, burnout and disconnection from the life you want to enjoy.
Individual counseling can help you manage pressure more effectively, clarify what matters, and become more intentional in your work, relationships, and personal life.
- Work stress and burnout
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Irritability and emotional exhaustion
- Relationship and family strain
- Identity, purpose, and life direction
Couples Counseling
You may still care deeply about each other, but communication has become tense, defensive, or unproductive. Perhaps you repeat the same argument, avoid difficult subjects, or feel more like coworkers than partners.
Couples counseling can help you understand the pattern keeping you stuck, communicate more effectively, and begin rebuilding emotional and physical connection.
- Recurring arguments
- Defensiveness and withdrawal
- Poor or unproductive communication
- Emotional distance
- Loss of affection or physical intimacy
Still not sure?
Sometimes, it's best to just ask your questions directly. I'm a real person who will do my best to answer your call or return it as quickly as I'm able.
Counseling focused on meaningful, practical change
Counseling should give you more than a place to talk. We’ll work together to understand the patterns behind your stress or relationship difficulties and identify realistic ways to move forward.
Meet The Owner | Tyler Higley, MA, LPC
Hi, I’m Tyler. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who's been providing online counseling to adults and couples throughout Michigan for over a decade.
I work especially well with professionals, business owners, and other adults who appear capable on the outside but feel stressed, stuck, or disconnected underneath. I also help couples who are tired of repeating the same conflicts and want to rebuild communication, closeness, and trust.
My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and practical. I’ll give you room to be honest without judgment, while also helping you identify patterns, clarify what matters, and take meaningful steps forward.
My approach draws largely from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gottman Method couples counseling. Rather than forcing every client into one method, I adapt the work to your needs, personality, and goals.
If faith or spirituality is important to you, we can thoughtfully incorporate it into counseling at your request. It is never assumed or imposed.

Insurance
I am an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Care Network. This means that we will submit claims for services rendered and accept the approved amount from the insurance company, minus any co-payments, deductible amounts or non-covered services that you are responsible for. If you use another insurance provider, we can talk through additional options you might have.
Cancellation Policy
If you miss an appointment without notice or cancel with less than 24 hours notice, there will be an out-of-pocket $100 late cancel/no-show fee. This policy is in place because I reserve that specific time slot exclusively for you. If you arrive late to a session, please understand that you might miss out on some of your allocated time.
What To Expect
Brief Phone Consultation
We'll start by having a brief phone consultation where we will talk a bit about what's going on for you, my approach to working with clients, payment and billing options, scheduling and clarifying next steps.
Client Portal & Paperwork
I'll send you a client portal invitation where you can request future appointments, share documents with me, view and pay your bill and join our telehealth sessions.
First Appointment
Our first appointment will be 60-90 minutes and done via telehealth (phone or video). We'll go over the paperwork you completed beforehand, address any remaining questions or concerns you may have, get to know one another better, start exploring the issues that are bringing you to counseling and finish by clarifying the goals we have for the work we'll do together and scheduling your next appointment.
