About Keyonna

Keyonna Taylor is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with nine years of experience. She approaches therapy as a partnership, helping people take practical first steps when they want change. Her manner is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help clients think about problems more clearly so they can make steady progress.

She creates an inclusive space and names support for minority and LGBTQA clients. She also shares that she is a Black woman, married, and a parent, which informs her perspective in sessions.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches. She also brings methods like motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when helpful.

The goal is practical skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon-heavy talk. In sessions she listens for strengths and builds on them. She helps clients recognize patterns and try small, doable changes.

Many people are guided toward better coping skills, healthier routines, and clearer priorities. For parents reading on a phone, she aims to keep things straightforward and usable. She works through concrete steps, helps set achievable goals, and partners with clients to track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so clients can move toward what matters even when things feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work through these methods. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts in shorter moments and get real-time support between fuller sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy family lives and make it easier to keep momentum on goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
