Background and approach
Work can include short-term problem solving or longer conversations about meaning and purpose. Taylor combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered care to help people reframe their stories. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to make change feel doable.
These approaches are mixed and explained in plain language so people know what to expect. His background includes long-term advocacy and education in intersex awareness, which informs how he supports parents and individuals facing stigma or medical questions. Taylor also has experience helping caregivers, aging adults, and people handling chronic illness or life-limiting conditions.
Outside of clinical skills, Taylor names his own experience with loss as part of why he does this work. That personal perspective shapes a style that is compassionate without pressure. He encourages people to move at their own pace while finding practical steps forward.

Online session options
How Taylor’s approaches work online
Taylor often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories and see new possibilities. That approach is useful for grief, identity questions, and life changes because it focuses on the stories people carry and how those stories shape choices.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client identify priorities without pushing a predetermined plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may be added to teach clear skills for managing anxiety, stress, or unhelpful thinking patterns in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Taylor will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients take part in choosing what feels most helpful, and the plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving duties. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and practical amid a hectic life.
