LMHC - Anxiety and Stress
See online therapy optionsAbout Taylor
Taylor August is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Massachusetts with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Taylor also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, workplace stress, and young adult challenges.
Taylor uses practical, structured methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to break patterns that keep problems going. Sessions also draw from client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities.
She incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming and from Motivational Interviewing when people want help deciding on change. That combination is aimed at clear, doable steps rather than abstract discussion. Taylor works with straightforward tools people can try between sessions.
In a typical meeting she will help identify one or two patterns to work on and suggest simple exercises to practice. She explains why a strategy might help and checks in about how it felt afterward. This keeps work concrete and trackable.
Taylor encourages people who are juggling life transitions, relationship strain, or workplace pressure to bring specific moments from daily life into sessions. That makes it easier to test new ways of responding and to measure small changes over time.
Using CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online
Taylor often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety and stress. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises and short experiments you can try between meetings to test what changes feel helpful.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's immediate goals. DBT skills training emphasizes practical tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Client-centered work means the therapist listens to priorities and follows what matters most to the person in front of her.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Taylor will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods based on what is working. That may mean leaning more on skill practice, working through thought patterns, or using motivational conversations to support decisions about change.
