About Taylor
Taylor Wentzel is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana. She has five years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people move forward from addiction and manage everyday stress. Taylor aims to create a respectful, compassionate space and guides clients toward practical change.
Taylor has developed experience working with substance use and drug and alcohol concerns. She also supports people coping with anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Career pressures, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation are additional areas she addresses. Her sessions are tailored to each person's needs. She uses straightforward conversations to build goals and small steps clients can try between meetings.
Motivational interviewing-style questions help people find their own reasons to change, while solution-focused techniques keep work practical and goal-oriented. Taylor also uses elements of client-centered therapy to listen deeply and help people feel heard. Cognitive behavioral techniques are brought in when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of daily functioning.
The mix depends on what the client wants to work on and how they respond. She welcomes questions about how therapy works and what to expect. Taylor emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace.
Taking that first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process clear and manageable.
How Taylor’s approaches translate to online care
The client-centered approach focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. In sessions Taylor reflects concerns back, asks about priorities, and helps people name what matters most so work stays meaningful and personal.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Taylor uses CBT tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build simple behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for substance use and for boosting motivation during life transitions.
Taylor sees figuring out the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor work to each person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets you maintain face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These formats support flexible scheduling and allow continued progress when meeting in person is difficult.
