How Taylor works
Sessions are often collaborative and relaxed, and she will use appropriate moments of humor to ease tension. Taylor commonly draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also integrates attachment-based ideas and client-centered practices to address patterns in relationships and self-view.
Mindfulness and narrative elements may be used to help people reframe difficult experiences. She has worked with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar mood concerns, addictions, ADHD, and grief. Other areas she focuses on include self-esteem, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, anger, compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, and body image concerns.
Taylor also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame. Taylor works with people who want a therapy plan tailored to them rather than a label. She helps clients set practical goals and develop strategies they can use day to day.
People who prefer a calm, collaborative therapist may find her approach a good fit.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and some mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest strategies that fit how you like to work. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques are practical and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent progress.
