About Tessica

Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and related struggles. She approaches therapy with a focus on each person’s strengths and choices. Tessica aims to support and encourage people taking steps toward change.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them. Sessions center on practical steps and clear goals. Tessica draws on methods that help people change habits, manage intense emotions, and find solutions that fit daily life.

Her background includes seven years of professional counseling experience and ten years as a certified school counselor working with children from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 in a public school setting. That mix of roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style built around listening and coaching.

In sessions she uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address specific concerns. She focuses on helping people build coping skills, manage mood and stress, and address relationship and parenting challenges.

Tessica works in Oklahoma as an LPC and conducts therapy in English. She encourages people who are ready to explore change to take a first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

Step 3

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validating a person’s experience while helping them decide what matters most and which goals to prioritize. It is useful when someone needs respect for their choices and a partner in sorting through options.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It usually involves setting clear goals, trying new actions between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, focuses on managing intense emotions and improving relationships through practical skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. It can help those who struggle with impulsive reactions or frequent mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tessica will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Session format options are not listed in the therapist’s biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these advantages to help people practice skills between sessions and apply solutions in real life.
