About Tessica

Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and anger. Tessica also addresses a wide range of related issues such as addiction, relationship struggles, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and low self-esteem.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and emphasizes practical strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps rather than labels. Conversations are straightforward and aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Tessica draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That blend lets her teach coping skills, help people reframe thought patterns, practice emotional regulation, and plan short-term achievable changes.

Her background includes work as a certified school counselor with ten years in PK–12 public schools, alongside several years providing counseling outside school settings. That mix of school-based and clinical experience shapes a practical, skills-driven approach to challenges that affect family life and parenting.

People who seek help here are often looking to manage anger that shows up at home or work, rebuild after hurt, or find steadier ways to respond under stress. Tessica helps clients identify what sparks strong reactions and build ways to respond with more control and clarity.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Tessica often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helping people manage anger and stress. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so day-to-day reactions change. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in tense moments.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and strengths. That means the client and therapist work together to pick which skills or strategies to try first, and adjust plans based on what actually helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work are fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that remove travel time. Licensed professionals can teach and practice breathing exercises, thought-reframing, behavioral experiments, and DBT skill rehearsals remotely, then adapt homework to real-life situations. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches and scheduling that fit their goals and daily routine.
