About Taylor

Taylor August is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She offers calm, straightforward support for worries that feel overwhelming or constant. Her work often addresses jealousy, attachment concerns, and challenges tied to neurodivergence.

Taylor uses a collaborative style that centers the person's experience. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and feelings, learning practical coping skills, and testing small changes that fit daily life. She keeps conversations direct and compassionate so people can build steady progress without jargon.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool in her work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs help finding personal reasons to change.

Her background includes six years of clinical practice as an MA LMHC in Massachusetts. That experience has included supporting people with mood disorders, obsessive and compulsive concerns, social anxiety, and workplace stress. Taylor also addresses issues like codependency, narcissism-related patterns, somatization, and young adult transitions.

Sessions are individualized and paced to what each person needs. Taylor aims to make therapy useful for everyday life by teaching tools that can be practiced between meetings and adjusted as progress unfolds.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in identifying personal goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear, structured exercises to test new ways of thinking and to practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for concerns like anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and workplace stress.

Taylor will work with each person to find the best mix of methods. Figuring out the right approach is a team effort that draws on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. Many people find it simpler to try new skills between meetings when sessions can be scheduled around everyday life.
