About Beverley

Dr. Beverley Taylor greets families and parents with clear, practical support. She listens first to understand what is most worrying at home.

Then she helps set simple goals and steps that fit each familys daily life. Her tone is direct and encouraging for people who want usable strategies, not jargon. She brings 25 years of experience in schools, universities, and community settings to her work.

Dr. Taylor has been a classroom teacher and a professional school counselor.

Background and approach

She also maintained a independent practice for several years and has worked across age groups and family situations. Her approach centers on matching methods to the person and problem. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thinking and behavior patterns.

For couples, she uses aspects of the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair conflict. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable action steps. Parents can expect help with behaviors, routines, and relationship patterns that affect kids and household stress.

She aims to make therapy a practical part of family life rather than a separate burden. Dr. Taylor holds a LPC credential and practices in Tennessee.

She works in straightforward language and keeps plans simple so parents can try strategies between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so people feel understood and comfortable sharing their concerns; it helps when trust and clear communication are the main goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many day-to-day challenges. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild connection when intimacy or relationship patterns are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each family or parent about goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options let parents choose what feels most convenient for check-ins, skills practice, or longer sessions. The flexibility can help maintain consistency so families keep working on goals between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
