About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of therapy experience. She has a master's degree in social work from Indiana University and has spent much of her time working with adolescents and adults. Taylor takes a relaxed, conversational approach and aims to help people find practical ways forward during hard times.
She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar mood issues, addictions, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Taylor also addresses relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, ADHD, and issues related to identity and gender. Her additional areas of focus include attachment questions, blended family issues, codependency, and communication problems among others. Taylor draws on a mix of approaches that fit each person.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior tools to teach coping skills. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles guide how she builds trust and listens without judgment. In sessions she looks for strengths and helps people use them to reach concrete goals.
Her style is supportive, encouraging, and often gently humorous when appropriate. Taylor works collaboratively to make plans that feel realistic and useful for daily life. If someone wants to begin, she recommends asking questions up front to see if the fit feels right.
The aim is to create a space where people feel heard, respected, and able to try new strategies for change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making steady changes in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and new behaviors. This approach is useful for depression, mood shifts, and many anxiety-related problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and works to build a stronger sense of safety and connection in relationships. It can help with attachment concerns, communication problems, and family stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then choose or combine methods collaboratively. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the approach fits each person's needs.
Online therapy makes those methods easier to access through flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow sessions to fit around busy schedules and let people join from different places. They also make follow-up, quick check-ins, and step-by-step skill practice more convenient while keeping care consistent with the chosen therapeutic approach.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
