About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of counseling experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and anger. She also works with mood challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder, and addresses issues like grief, intimacy, sleep and eating concerns, and self-esteem.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills the person can use between meetings. Tessica draws on methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused strategies to help people process distress and build coping strategies.
In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and then offers clear tools and small experiments to try. That may include problem-focused planning, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or grounding and safety strategies after trauma. She also uses solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and track progress.
Her background includes both school counseling and clinical counseling roles. That experience informs a straightforward style with attention to family and parenting matters. People often come with parenting stress, blended-family challenges, adoption or foster-care questions, or caregiving strain.
Tessica offers practical support for everyday life changes as well as more complex problems. She collaborates with each person to test what works, adjusts plans as needed, and keeps the pace manageable for busy lives.
How sessions work
How Tessica applies therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify goals and values. This approach suits people who want a conversational, respectful way to sort through problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete techniques to change patterns of thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and for managing stress. Typical CBT work includes identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors between sessions.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on safety, grounding, and processing distressing memories or reactions. It uses steady, paced techniques to reduce the intensity of trauma symptoms and to build coping strategies for triggering situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify needs, set goals, and test which methods help most. That plan can change over time as progress and life demands shift.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make therapy easier to schedule around parenting, work, or caregiving. They also allow shorter check-ins, audio-only options if video is difficult, and the ability to continue meetings while managing a busy household.
