About Taylor
Taylor August is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and related challenges like attachment concerns, codependency, and workplace issues.
She keeps sessions simple and practical. Conversations focus on understanding thoughts and feelings, recognizing unhelpful patterns, and building small skills to use day to day. The tone is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on collaboration rather than lecture.
Taylor draws from client-centered methods to make space for each person’s experience. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and mood problems. Motivational Interviewing helps when people need to find their own reasons for change and weigh next steps.
Her work also includes techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for strong emotions and stress. She pays attention to concerns linked to neurodivergence, obsessional thinking, somatic symptoms, and social anxiety. Young adult issues and women’s concerns are among the topics she commonly addresses.
Taylor holds a Master of Arts and practices as an LMHC in Massachusetts. She has six years of clinical experience and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making space for a person's experience and listening without judgment. Online sessions using this approach tend to center the client’s perspective and priorities while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change patterns. Delivered online, CBT often uses short exercises, homework between sessions, and clear steps to track progress on anxiety, mood, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. That process can involve trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins on a hectic day or longer weekly sessions when time allows. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions let them continue consistent work without extra travel or lost time. -
