About Taylor
Taylor August is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical strategies to reduce emotional overwhelm while helping clients build coping skills that fit into everyday routines.
Background and approach
With six years of clinical experience, Taylor blends skill-based methods and empathic listening to support clearer thinking and more effective emotional regulation. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and individualized, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact.
She also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when helpful, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals. Based in Massachusetts, Taylor frames therapy as a process of learning and gradual change, focusing on usable tools and increased self-understanding rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and experiences steer the work; this approach helps people feel heard and respected while they explore emotions and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, mood disturbances, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when strong emotions or relationship challenges are present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and priorities evolve. This means sessions can combine listening, skill teaching, and practical exercises tailored to what works best for the person.
Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access care from different locations. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working together with a licensed professional.
