About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience providing therapy in Indiana. She works mainly with adults and adolescents on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make people feel heard and respected from the first conversation.
Kent focuses on practical skills and personal strengths. She helps people recognize what is already working for them and build new strategies to cope with stress, manage emotions, and handle life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and often collaborative, with a relaxed tone and appropriate use of humor to ease difficult topics. She commonly uses cognitive and dialectical behavior techniques alongside attachment-informed and acceptance-based ideas. That means she might work on thoughts and behaviors, teach emotion regulation skills, and help people identify relationship patterns that affect their wellbeing.
Treatment plans are tailored to each person rather than centered on a label. Taylor also draws on motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative methods to support lasting change. She emphasizes authenticity and wants clients to feel safe sharing what’s on their mind without judgment.
The aim is practical, usable change rather than abstract theory. People who do best with her style often prefer a collaborative, conversational therapist who offers concrete tools. She encourages questions about the fit and invites potential clients to reach out so they can decide together if her style matches their needs.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Taylor commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction when life feels chaotic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits and what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
