Therapeutic Approaches and Online Work
Dr. Taylor uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where clients feel heard and can explore their hopes and goals. This approach focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and helping them choose their next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and try practical shifts in thinking and behavior. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns. Licensed professionals can adapt Client-Centered and CBT methods to work well over distance, focusing on clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress.
