Tessica Taylor

Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and anger. She emphasizes the client’s strengths and supports practical steps toward a more balanced life. Tessica frames people as experts in their own story and aims to empower change in everyday terms.

With seven years of counseling experience and a decade as a certified school counselor working with children in PK-12 settings, she brings both community and school perspectives to her work. Tessica listens for what matters most and helps identify small, useful shifts that can reduce stress and improve coping.

Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She combines listening with goal-focused tools so clients leave sessions with practical strategies to try between meetings.

Tessica pays attention to how life transitions, grief, relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, and issues like ADHD or compassion fatigue affect daily routines. She works with people on career stress, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and substance or behavioral addictions with straightforward planning rather than jargon.

People who choose her often want a collaborative therapist who helps set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress. She supports parents, caregivers, and individuals navigating adoption or foster care, blended family issues, divorce-related stress, and other practical challenges. The focus is on usable steps and steady forward movement.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tessica uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) regularly, and also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles when helpful. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the client says so goals emerge from the person's values and needs. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into practical patterns and teaches tools to change unhelpful habits. DBT provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, or mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tessica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what they’ve tried before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needed based on what is working.

Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in her profile. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people practice skills between meetings and use tools like worksheets or behavior tracking in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so sessions focus on clear, usable steps that fit each person’s daily routine.
