Dr. Beverley Taylor, LPC

Dr. Beverley Taylor greets people with a straightforward, goal-focused approach. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. Her language is plain and direct, and she aims to help people make clear plans to move forward.

Her practice centers on identifying specific goals and breaking them into small action steps. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and what can be tried next. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one tool to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Before private practice, she worked as a classroom teacher, a professional school counselor, and as a university instructor. That background shaped her interest in practical strategies and teaching skills people can use after sessions end. She has a long history of working across many kinds of concerns, from stress and anxiety to relationship and grief issues.

In session she favors collaboration. She and the person seeking help set measurable goals and check progress as they go. The focus is on small wins that add up to meaningful change.

Dr. Taylor offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who prefer different ways of communicating can choose what fits their schedule and daily life. The intake process begins with a brief questionnaire and scheduling through the platform.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting connection. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps the person feel understood before moving to changes. This style supports people who need a steady, validating space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions often include homework and short exercises to practice between meetings.

The Gottman Method looks at patterns in close relationships and teaches specific skills for improving communication and reducing conflict. It is useful when relationship patterns feel stuck or when partners want tools for better interaction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made, and adjustments are made together.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or for people who prefer written interaction. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
