About Tomi

Tomi Taylor combines practical, relationship-focused therapy with evidence-based tools to support families and parents. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Tomi keeps language simple in sessions and helps families find steps they can try between meetings.

Tomi offers straightforward help for common family concerns like parenting, communication problems, attachment questions, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also addresses ADHD, trauma, depression, sleep difficulties, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Her work includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness, and social anxiety where these affect family life. Her approach blends attachment-based listening, client-centered collaboration, and cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

She is also trained in EMDR for processing traumatic memories and in other experiential therapies she uses when helpful. Tomi has worked extensively with neurodiverse communities and has experience in autism and ADHD-related supports. That background includes roles as a case manager, resource coordinator, and parent advocate, alongside clinical counseling work.

She provides sessions from Maine and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online family support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and trust. It looks at how connections between caregivers and children affect behavior and emotional safety, and it can help with bonding and communication problems within families.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist follows the family's lead, listens closely, and helps people name priorities and solutions that feel workable for their day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits that interfere with parenting or family functioning.

Deciding on an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose strategies and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let members join from different locations, phone sessions fit into tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging can make check-ins easier between appointments. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy part of a family's routine.

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.

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.
