Taylor Kent (Gibbs), LCSW

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with approximately 9 years of clinical experience. She holds both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in social work from Indiana University, and has worked with clients across the lifespan while focusing primarily on adults and adolescents. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma, anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, personality disorders, self-harm, and adjustment disorders, as well as issues such as stress, addictions, relationship and family struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and ADHD.

Taylor approaches therapy from a strengths-based, humanistic perspective that emphasizes authenticity, respect, and collaboration. She aims to help people identify and build on their existing strengths while developing practical strategies to reach personal goals. Her style is often laid-back and conversational, and she uses humor when appropriate to create a comfortable environment for exploring difficult topics. Clinically, Taylor commonly incorporates cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, attachment-informed ideas, mindfulness practices, and narrative approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She believes treatment planning should center on the whole person rather than a diagnostic label, and works to foster a space where clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an important part of the process, and Taylor emphasizes collaboration in defining goals and choosing methods that align with each individual’s values and preferences.
