Tessica Taylor

Tessica Taylor, LPC, helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She supports those facing trauma, parenting challenges, anger, addiction, and relationship struggles. Tessica also works with concerns like sleep and eating problems, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She practices in Oklahoma and brings seven years of counseling experience to her work. Tessica believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. Her approach centers on listening carefully and partnering with clients to set clear, manageable goals.

In sessions she uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs. When trauma or intense emotions are present, she uses trauma-focused strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to improve coping.

Tessica values short-term problem solving as well, using solution-focused tools to find small, effective changes quickly. She aims to create a calm space where people can practice new skills and try different ways of responding to stress. Progress is paced to each person’s comfort and priorities.

Her background includes work as a school counselor for children in PK-12 settings, in addition to clinical counseling roles. Clients can expect straightforward guidance, a respectful listening style, and help turning strengths into practical steps forward.

Approaches for online counseling and coping skills

Client-centered work focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, asks questions to clarify what matters most, and helps you notice strengths to build on. This approach is useful when you want support that centers your experience and goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete skills to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and mood shifts by giving specific tools to practice between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. These techniques are practical for managing intense emotions, anger, or ongoing stress. They break down big problems into steps you can work on day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to your needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. You and the therapist decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skill building, or deeper trauma-focused work.
