Taylor August, LMHC

Taylor August is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She works with adults facing life changes and everyday pressures. People meet her to talk through overwhelm, improve coping, and rebuild confidence.

Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people notice the thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Together they set small, achievable steps to try between sessions. Therapy focuses on skills that can be used in daily life to reduce worry and handle stress.

Taylor uses approaches that emphasize practical change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how she teaches emotion regulation and motivation.

With six years of experience, Taylor brings steady support without jargon. She adapts pace and tools to each person’s goals and situation. Sessions aim to be useful from the first few meetings.

Taylor practices in Massachusetts and holds an MA and the LMHC credential. She conducts sessions in English and focuses on adults navigating stress, relationships, workplace strain, and young adult concerns. Her work includes attention to attachment patterns, codependency, OCD symptoms, and mood or social anxiety challenges.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Taylor often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts, and it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in respectful listening and helps people feel heard while they decide what changes to make.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is a focus, teaching concrete skills for managing strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and comfortable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for longer sessions and visual cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress and regular support.
