About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with about nine years of experience as a therapist. She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work from Indiana University. Taylor has spent much of her career working with adults and adolescents on mood, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns.
Taylor’s style is supportive and down-to-earth. She prefers a conversational, collaborative approach and uses gentle humor when it fits. She looks for strengths in each person and helps them build on those strengths to reach practical goals.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there. Taylor often mixes cognitive strategies and dialectical skills with motivational interviewing and attachment-informed ideas. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Taylor aims to make therapy a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She wants people to feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make choices that fit their values. Treatment plans are built around the individual, not just a diagnosis.
She has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, personality challenges, and adjustment problems. Taylor invites questions before starting therapy and encourages people to check whether her approach feels like a good match.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change through collaborative conversation. It is useful for issues like addiction, behavioral shifts, and ambivalence about next steps.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and to commit to actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what someone wants their life to stand for.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new, healthier ways of relating to others. It can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right method is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs to decide which approaches to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
For practical online use, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, lower travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people in different places, including international clients, while keeping the focus on the same therapeutic approaches used in person. -
