Kip Cole, LPC

Kip Cole is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with seven years of clinical experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He focuses on meeting people where they are and building on their existing strengths while offering practical strategies to manage difficult emotions and life transitions. He also works with related challenges such as abandonment, body image concerns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

As an LPC - a credential that denotes specialized training in counseling and mental health treatment - he respects that each person is the expert on their own story and partners with clients to identify goals and steps toward them. His approach emphasizes collaboration, teaching coping skills, and exploring patterns that contribute to ongoing distress while honoring each client’s values and experiences. Taking the first step into therapy often requires courage, and he recognizes and affirms that decision for anyone who reaches out to begin this work.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Remotely

Kip Cole employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a client brings. He uses skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and panic symptoms, helping clients learn breathing, grounding, and thought-management skills that reduce everyday distress. He offers trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, pacing, and processing difficult experiences to support recovery from trauma, abuse, and related symptoms. He also provides supportive, problem-focused work for depression, grief, and relationship challenges that emphasizes coping strategies, communication skills, and rebuilding routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kip collaborates with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they determine which evidence-based techniques are the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible, while still working with licensed professionals to address mental health concerns.
