About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses family-related issues and life transitions that affect everyday home life.
She focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions often look at patterns that keep stress and anger active at home. She helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors get in the way of what they want, and then tries out small changes that fit daily life.
Taryn integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, and client-centered care. These tools are used to manage anxiety, cope with grief, and improve communication. She can support adults navigating adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiving and aging issues, and family-of-origin problems.
Her background includes working with people experiencing codependency, substance-related struggles, domestic violence aftermath, and complex grief. She brings 11 years of practice to these challenges and uses straightforward strategies for symptom management, distress tolerance, and rebuilding routines.
Taryn also notes a Christian-informed perspective as part of her personal framework. People who prefer that context can discuss how faith and values fit into their goals. For next steps, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Taryn draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed methods to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with family-of-origin issues and attachment struggles.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, personal values, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. Clients and therapist adjust strategies over time based on what helps most with parenting strain, relationship tension, or emotional regulation.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue care when life changes make in-person visits harder. The focus is on practical tools you can use between sessions to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle caregiving demands.
