About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience as a therapist. She has bachelor's and master's degrees in social work from Indiana University and has worked mainly with adults and adolescents. Common concerns she has worked with include trauma, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, personality issues, self-harm, and adjustment challenges.
She tends to work in a laid-back, conversational way and uses humor when appropriate. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She looks for personal strengths and helps people build strategies that fit their day-to-day life.
Taylor draws on a mix of cognitive and dialectical behavior approaches along with acceptance-oriented and attachment perspectives. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative elements to help people make sense of their experiences and move forward. Treatment plans are based on the person rather than a diagnosis.
People who come for help with anger, stress, relationship strains, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, or gender and identity-related issues may find her style useful. She also addresses problems such as abandonment, communication difficulties, codependency, and body image concerns.
Taylor describes her role as supportive and encouraging while keeping work practical. She invites questions up front so people can decide if her approach feels like a good fit before scheduling a session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values. It often focuses on learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, which can be useful for anger and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong anger or repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require video. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments and apply skills in real-life moments.
