About Tausha

Tausha Taylor is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and challenges related to ADHD and autism. She brings 12 years of practical experience as a therapist and life coach. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat each person with respect and compassion.

In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most. Tausha blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools to build coping skills. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when those methods fit a person’s needs.

She avoids stigmatizing labels and works to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard things. That can mean practicing new strategies for stress, trying focused exercises to manage mood, or pacing work that addresses past trauma. She adapts the pace to each person’s comfort level.

Tausha has supported people with addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also assists those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, blended family questions, and challenges that come with aging.

Her background includes work with clients who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and those adjusting to major life changes. Tausha combines coaching and therapeutic skills to help people set goals and build realistic steps toward them.

To start, she invites people to name their priorities and try small, manageable changes. She describes therapy as a partnership focused on practical progress and clearer thinking.

Step 3

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to you. A therapist offers empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and follows your lead to shape the work. This approach is useful for people who want support building trust and clarifying goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions often involve practicing new skills, trying short exercises, and setting small goals to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through clear, step-by-step practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and goal-setting, then introducing CBT or DBT tools, or using EMDR techniques if past trauma is a focus.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins around work or caregiving, and let someone pick a quieter setting that helps them concentrate. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and exercises to suit remote sessions, helping people practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
