Keyonna Taylor , LSCSW

Keyonna Taylor believes that reaching out for help is often the first clear sign that a person is ready to make meaningful changes. She approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, empowering people to examine their circumstances objectively and take practical steps toward healthier ways of living. Her goal is to help people develop new strategies for thinking about and addressing problems so they can move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

She offers an inclusive, down-to-earth practice that welcomes minority, LGBTQA, and women clients. She identifies as a Black woman, heterosexual, cisgender, married, and a parent, and she centers a nonjudgmental stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her style emphasizes respect, practical support, and a strengths-based view of change.

Taylor has worked extensively with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. She uses an eclectic mix of approaches tailored to each person, drawing from the Strengths Perspective, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered approaches, Solution-Focused methods, Rational Behavior Therapy, and general case management and supportive therapy. She seeks to form a strong therapeutic alliance to help clients identify goals and take steps toward them.

She holds the LSCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and indicates training and authorization to provide clinical social work services.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching skills to live with uncomfortable experiences while pursuing meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding, CBT supports change in anxiety, mood disorders, and many everyday stressors.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person is seen as the expert on their own life. This approach fosters self-exploration, emotional processing, and confidence in making decisions about relationships, identity, and life direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Taylor collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful and practical for each situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access licensed professionals from one’s own community. The format supports ongoing skill practice, check-ins, and the same collaborative planning that guides in-person care.
