About Trisha
Trisha Taylor is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what is on their mind and in their heart. Trisha writes plainly, listens closely, and helps people find practical steps forward.
She uses straightforward methods like client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Trisha also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people regulate strong emotions and build steady routines. She often combines short-term goals with longer-term work depending on what a person needs. Trisha helps with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, and relationship or family challenges.
She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, career stress, and identity questions such as LGBT concerns. Specific focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and codependency. Her approach is collaborative and practical.
Sessions look at the immediate problem and the patterns that keep it going. Trisha aims to teach skills people can use between sessions and to coach them through life transitions. Trisha offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking help in California.
She frames therapy as a cooperative process so each person can set the pace and goals for their work together.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says so they feel heard and can decide on goals. This approach helps with anxiety and relationship stress by putting the client's priorities first and shaping sessions around what feels most urgent.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or recurring patterns by offering tools for self-soothing and better communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Trisha will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a path that combines approaches when needed. The process is collaborative so adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy days.
