Pyol Thompson , LCPC

Pyol Thompson is a non-binary, pansexual, fem-presenting queer multiracial therapist who centers work with people and communities that have been marginalized by society and culture. Pyol brings focused attention to clients from LGBTQ communities, those practicing polyamory or involved in kink and alternative sex cultures, and people navigating life in multiracial homes - offering understanding for experiences that often fall outside mainstream attention.

Pyol provides motivational talk therapy and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with sleep and self-esteem. Pyol is also certified in basic EMDR therapy, a trauma-informed approach that supports processing of distressing memories and post-traumatic stress. Treatment often addresses grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and illness, and the aftermath of sexual assault or abuse.

Pyol Thompson holds an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and focuses on creating a non-judgmental, compassionate space where people can be seen and validated. The work aims to empower clients so they develop skills to manage symptoms and cope more independently over time. Progress is collaborative and gradual - it requires commitment from both therapist and client to make small, sustainable changes that lead to long-term differences.

Pyol became a therapist out of a desire to support trauma survivors and to demonstrate compassion while affirming each person’s inherent value. Pyol looks forward to exploring whether there is a good fit for working together.

Trauma-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Pyol Thompson combines evidence-based approaches with a trauma-informed perspective to support clients through remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered at a basic certification level and can assist clients in processing traumatic memories and reducing the intensity of distressing reactions. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, making it useful for coping with life transitions, chronic health challenges, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pyol works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are treated as partners in shaping their care rather than passive recipients.

Online therapy with Pyol includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit support into everyday life. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing consistent care across busy schedules or when in-person visits are not practical, while keeping the focus on effective, goal-oriented treatment provided by a licensed professional.
