About Taylen Gilden
Taylen Gilden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate practicing out of Wenatchee, Washington. She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Whitworth University, earned in 2017, and brings three years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families.
Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of attention include body image, communication problems, family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexual concerns, sexuality, women’s issues, and young adult transitions.
She approaches therapy as a hopeful, relational process. She believes people come to therapy seeking a renewed sense of possibility and a way forward from circumstances that feel stuck. In session she aims to provide a supportive, authentic space where clients can explore their stories, name what matters, and take practical steps toward change. Taylen emphasizes vulnerability as part of growth, and she works alongside clients to identify sources of hope and then move toward concrete actions that align with their goals and values.
LMHC is short for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and the title Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate reflects her training in marriage and family therapy and related approaches to relational work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Taylen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and anxiety problems, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships, helping couples and family members deepen connection and resolve recurring relationship cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Taylen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care around work schedules, family responsibilities, or geographic constraints, while therapists tailor sessions to each client's preferred format.
