How sessions work

How Dr. Taylor uses evidence-based methods online

Dr. Taylor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on immediate problems like anxiety, depression, sleep, or eating issues. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills work for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT tools help with anger, intense emotions, and coping when life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying skills-based practice, brief coaching, or longer talking sessions until an effective mix is found.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work without arranging childcare or long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for online sessions and use guided processing for trauma-focused approaches when appropriate.
