About Taylor

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of therapy experience. She has a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University. She has worked mostly with adults and adolescents and commonly addresses trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, self-harm, and adjustment concerns.

Her approach is conversational and collaborative. Sessions tend to be relaxed and sometimes include humor when appropriate. She looks for strengths a person already has and helps them build practical strategies to reach their goals.

Taylor uses several clinical methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior techniques. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered practices to guide conversations about relationships and patterns. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when they fit the client’s needs.

Parents and adults concerned about family dynamics, parenting strain, or relationship stress will find focused attention on communication and boundary patterns. She also works with concerns often linked to identity, grief, addiction, and chronic stress responses.

Intake begins with questions about current problems and goals, and treatment plans are shaped to individual circumstances rather than a label. Sessions aim to help people notice strengths, try new strategies, and make steady changes over time.

How sessions work

How Taylor’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and persistent avoidance by teaching practical exercises to face difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into manageable parts and uses simple experiments to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and communication. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries, or repeating old relationship habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taylor will listen to your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.

The therapist’s original profile did not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work well in remote sessions. If you have particular logistics or scheduling needs, ask about them when you complete the matching questionnaire.
