About Tylor

Tylor Cummings is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help families and parents find practical ways forward. She focuses on clear listening, encouragement, and real-life tools. Tylor keeps sessions straightforward so parents can use what they learn right away.

She trained in community psychology and completed a master’s degree in Adlerian counseling and psychotherapy with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy.

Background and approach

Early in her career she served as a Guardian ad Litem working with families involved in child protection cases. That experience shaped her comfort with family systems and with challenging family situations. Tylor has worked in behavioral health settings serving children in rural Minnesota schools and providing care at a clinic to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

She currently works full time at a community mental health clinic where she provides assessments, individual therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy to people from birth to 65+. Her style is warm and encouraging, with a focus on empathy and empowerment. She draws on person-centered work and system-level thinking to look at relationships and patterns that affect daily life.

She also brings training and experience working with trauma and with parent-child interaction techniques. When parents call, she often starts by asking what feels most urgent and then suggests small steps to try at home. Sessions aim to build confidence, improve interactions, and reduce stress so families can cope better together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Client-Centered Therapy begins with the therapist listening closely and following the family's concerns. It focuses on understanding experiences and building trust so parents and children feel heard and supported. This approach can help with parenting stress, self esteem, and relationship strains.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, trauma-related reactions, and coping with life changes by giving families tools to test and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tylor will collaborate with each family to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts tools from her training so they fit daily routines and parenting challenges rather than remaining abstract techniques.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let parents fit conversations into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and access support without long travel. The variety of formats helps families pick what works best for them while keeping the focus on practical progress.

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.
