Feel freely.

Guiding grievers, overthinkers, and the overwhelmed through the unthinkable with understanding, a bit of humor, and therapy methods I’ve seen work time and time again.

Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati therapist and grief counselor, Kyle Linnemann

Meet Kyle Linnemann, MA, LPCC

Hello and welcome

If you are struggling with your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and want to learn how to cope and be free to live a life that is full and meaningful to you, you’ve come to the right place.

You will feel accepted and understood as we work together to gain insight into your personal human experience. I will use my expertise, 13 years of experience, and evidence-based approaches to help you take control of your life.

I work with adults one-on-one in Kentucky and Ohio to help them overcome mental hurdles, unwanted behaviors, and suffering through evidence-based skills, concepts, and techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, and mindfulness.

My approach is nonjudgmental, genuine, and gentle, yet straightforward. I offer a relaxed and supportive environment where you can freely explore your grief, anger, anxiety, depression, or any other thoughts and feelings that are holding you back.

With each session, it is my goal that you move closer to feeling lighter, breathing easier, and living a fuller, happier life that feels true to you.

Let’s get you the relief and freedom you need to live the life you want to live.

How I can help

  • Anger is a constant struggle, a battle within yourself to control the primal urge to lash out. You may find yourself saying things you don't mean, doing things you regret, and pushing away the people you love most. Yet, beneath the anger lies a well of hurt, pain, and frustration. It is these unaddressed emotions that fuel the flames, leaving you feeling consumed and exhausted. But remember, your anger does not define you. It is a part of you, but it does not control you.

    With understanding, self-compassion, and the right support, you can learn to quiet the rage and find peace within yourself.

    As an anger management therapist with over 13 years of experience and evidence-based tools, I'm here to be your partner in this journey. Together, we'll explore the roots of your anger, develop effective coping strategies, and ultimately, create a life where peace reigns. Don't let anger consume you anymore. Contact me today, and let's create a future where you navigate challenges gracefully and confidently, regardless of how stressful things get at home or work.

  • Anxiety isn't just a feeling; it's a thief. It steals your focus, peace, and happiness, leaving you restless and on edge. Your thoughts are constantly racing, spinning in an endless whirlwind of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios. It can be isolating, like a wall separating you from the world, making it hard to connect with others and enjoy life.

    Know that you're not alone. This internal battle, this constant fight or flight response, is felt by many. Over 40 million adults in the U.S. (19.1%) have an anxiety disorder, making it one of the most common mental health struggles in the country (ADAA).

    My goal is for your anxiety to no longer get in the way of you doing the things that are important to you or moving you closer to your goals. Through counseling, you'll find that anxiety interferes less and less with your day-to-day life.

    Your anxiety does not define you, and it doesn't have to control you. There is hope, and there is help available.

    You deserve to feel calm, to feel safe, and to feel free.

    Are you ready to start living your life again without anxiety holding you back? If so, contact me today for a free consultation. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have about anxiety treatment and how I work.

  • Depression is a constant companion, a whisper in the back of your mind that tells you you're not enough, that you don't deserve happiness. Simple tasks become mountains, motivation is nonexistent, and even the activities you once cherished feel devoid of meaning. Like a lead weight tethered to your soul, it drags you down, leaving you feeling drained, hopeless, and utterly alone – trapped within your own mind, a silent prisoner in a world that seems to be moving on without you. But amidst the darkness, remember this – you are not alone.

    Depression is a shared experience, and with the right support and tools, you can rise above the fog and rediscover joy, love, and purpose in your life.

    I’ve seen firsthand how depression treatment can help people make lasting changes in their lives. Making the first step to get help can be scary, but I promise you, it’s worth it.

  • The familiar comfort of your life has been abruptly interrupted. Whether it's the silence where laughter used to be, the empty space at the dinner table, or the career path that took an unexpected turn, loss feels like a rogue wave, knocking you off your feet and leaving you gasping for air. Questions gnaw at you: "Who am I now? Where do I go from here?" The pain can be crushing, a physical ache in your chest, a knot in your throat that makes sleep a distant dream. Anger flares, despair threatens to engulf you, and guilt burrows a hole so deep you can feel it in your bones.

    But even in the darkest corners of grief, there is hope. In my 13 years of walking alongside those navigating loss, I've witnessed the transformative power of facing the storm head-on. In the rawness of your emotions, there's a raw strength, an amazing resilience waiting to be unearthed.

    If you feel stuck or trapped in your grief, don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we'll sit with your pain, explore the obstacles holding you back, and help you rediscover the strength within using the skills and knowledge I’ve learned from my extensive and unique training in Prolonged Grief Treatment.

    You can emerge from your loss, not just surviving, but thriving, ready to build a life filled with joy, purpose, and meaning.

  • Imagine cultivating relationships where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported.

    Relationships are complicated and can bring out the best and worst parts of us. Relationship issues can feel like walking on eggshells, unsure of what step will trigger the next argument. Communication is uneasy and filled with uncomfortable silence and accusations. The weight of unspoken expectations and disappointment after disappointment taints your view of the relationship. You can practically feel the distance growing between you, like you're standing on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon.

    Whether romantic, extended family, a friendship, or a work dynamic, relationship purgatory is never fun. You start questioning everything, wondering if you're good enough, if you deserve more, or if this is somehow all your fault.

    Together, we can explore what's holding you back and unlock the potential for deeper connection and less stress. During our sessions, we'll create a plan to help you build meaningful relationships where you live in line with your values.

One of the most rewarding things about my job is when a client tells me they're feeling lighter, resilient, and are ready to end (or pause) our sessions.
