About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD. She emphasizes a practical, respectful approach and encourages clients to use their own strengths to make change.
Tessica frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client leads and she offers guidance and skills. She brings seven years of counseling experience to her work and prior experience as a school counselor.
Background and approach
That background informs her way of explaining ideas plainly and offering concrete tools rather than abstract theory. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable steps that fit into daily life. Tessica draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods.
She adapts these tools to the person in front of her, using what is most helpful for current goals. Expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and practical homework when useful. This therapist pays attention to life roles and stressors that affect mood and relationships, including grief, work strain, caregiving burdens, and transitions.
She also addresses concerns like eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, and substance issues in straightforward terms. Her style is supportive and goal-oriented. People who prefer clear steps, honest feedback, and encouragement to try new strategies often do well with her approach.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions give space to talk through concerns and test ideas while the therapist reflects and helps clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. In remote sessions that often means learning a tool together, trying it during the week, and reviewing results in the next meeting. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the aftereffects of trauma with careful pacing and skill-building to manage distress, and it can be delivered by phone or video while using grounding and coping strategies between visits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises or adding dialectical skills if emotional regulation is a priority.
Online options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, and live chat or text messaging help with quick check-ins or written practice between meetings. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and practical constraints while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
