About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and anger. She works with adults on both everyday struggles and bigger life challenges. Her tone in sessions is supportive and practical, focused on finding steps that fit each person’s life.
She practices in Oklahoma and brings seven years of counseling experience to her work. Tessica believes the client is the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
She aims to make changes feel achievable rather than overwhelming. In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused methods. That can mean learning tools to change unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or identifying small steps that move life forward.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the client needs. Tessica also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events affect current functioning. She helps people name what happened, recognize its effects, and develop skills to feel more in control.
The focus is on safety, stability, and practical coping strategies. People come to her for a wide range of issues beyond anxiety and trauma. These include grief, relationship concerns, addiction struggles, sleep and eating problems, attention and mood concerns, and caregiver stress.
Tessica supports clients as they set realistic goals and try new ways of handling daily pressure.
Approaches for online care and practical skills
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. It involves open conversation and reflection to help someone feel understood and to guide their own change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress management by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship stress. It offers tools people can use when they feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work with lower bandwidth or when movement is needed, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, short-form contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
