About Taylor

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is an Indiana-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She trained at Indiana University and has spent much of her career working with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, addictions, ADHD, and issues related to identity and relationships.

Her background also includes work around grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex presentations like co-morbidity and personality-related patterns. Taylor’s approach blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, conversational style.

She emphasizes clients’ strengths and collaborates on individualized plans that focus on practical skills and meaningful change. Her therapeutic manner is supportive and encouraging, often relaxed and occasionally infused with appropriate humor, while remaining anchored in respect and authenticity.

Treatment draws from cognitive behavioral tools alongside acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed perspectives, tailoring interventions to the person rather than a diagnosis. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions via multiple online formats, inviting prospective clients to ask questions and explore fit before beginning work together.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Taylor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which blends mindfulness and values-based action to help people tolerate difficult thoughts and move toward meaningful life goals. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work as well, focusing on patterns in relationships and early relational experiences that shape current connection and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques across sessions so treatment stays focused on what helps most. Clients participate in setting priorities and deciding which strategies to try first.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing care from varied locations and to use the communication style that best supports each person’s progress.
