Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Taylor draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals guide the work; this approach helps people gain clarity, build self-esteem, and feel more confident making changes. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress and to develop healthier coping skills. Motivational interviewing is another key tool in her practice - it focuses on enhancing internal motivation and readiness for change, which is often useful for substance use and other behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Taylor works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats increase accessibility for people who live far from office-based services or who need flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional, while maintaining a focus on effective, goal-oriented care.
