CBT and Collaborative Care Delivered Online



Taylor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, stress, and addictive patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space where a person's goals and values guide the work. These approaches are used to address issues like motivation, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and substance use in ways that fit each individual's situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Taylor works collaboratively with clients to decide which techniques match their needs and preferences. She adapts evidence-informed tools and client-centered listening to build a plan together, adjusting as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support regardless of location within Louisiana.
