My name is Teresa Taylor and am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Franklinton, Louisiana and am working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, grief, and depression using cognitive behavior therapy and Mindfulness to aid clients find the coping strategies needed to aid in manage life’s stresses.
My approach
My focus in therapy is utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps us become aware of distortions creating issues, to better understand our and others' behaviors and motivations, develop problem-solving skills to identify ways to help cope with those issues and to help build our sense of confidence in our abilities.
My focus
I have worked with adult populations struggling with difficult transitions in life, grief, depression, and social anxiety/anxiety.
My communication style
My communication style is open, honest, understanding, warm, and sincere. I want my clients to feel at ease and comfortable sharing their concerns with me knowing they will be heard and not judged.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist after working in a school setting. I was going to become a teacher when I switched to professional counseling. My mind was blown away observing so many young people angry, sad, anxious, and depressed. My passion is to help people find ways to help them live life instead of just exiting in life.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is collaborating with clients identify and to implement SMART goals to help you create a healthier course of action to cope daily with life's stresses.
My first session with you
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend time discussing your concerns and how you have been feeling recently. I will ask questions to help me better understand your circumstances and why your feeling that way. The first session is about us developing a therapeutic connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Every person is different, and I like to take the time to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
