About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with nine years of experience. She has a bachelor's and a master's degree in social work from Indiana University. Taylor has spent much of her career helping adults and adolescents work through issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger.
She keeps sessions relaxed and conversational. Taylor looks for practical ways to build on a person's strengths. She aims to make people feel heard, respected, and able to speak openly without judgment.
Background and approach
Her approach combines hands-on skills with talking and reflection. Taylor often uses elements of cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships.
Taylor helps people set clear, personal goals and then works step by step toward them. She balances encouragement with practical strategies such as tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and trying small experiments between sessions. Humor and authenticity are part of her style when they fit the situation.
She describes herself as supportive and collaborative, inviting clients to shape treatment to match their needs and values. For people juggling life changes, relationship struggles, substance concerns, ADHD, or grief, Taylor offers an approach that is flexible and goal-oriented. She also works with those exploring gender and sexual identity issues.
New clients are encouraged to ask questions so they can find the right fit before starting work together.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and values and take small actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on tracking unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often includes homework and skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help people change repeated ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Taylor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as needs change and invites clients to give feedback about what helps.
Online therapy in her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing and want flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
