About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who works with men on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, anger, and coping with life changes. She also helps with addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, and career challenges. Tessica frames the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on strengths people already have.
She holds experience from both school counseling and clinical settings. Tessica spent a decade as a certified school counselor working with children in PK-12, and she has seven years as an LPC. That mix informs a practical, down-to-earth approach that emphasizes clear tools and steady support.
In sessions she aims to empower clients to make small, realistic changes. She uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs in the moment, and she keeps conversations direct and goal-focused. Expect guidance on coping skills, communication, and handling strong emotions.
Tessica draws on client-centered principles to honor each person’s perspective. She pairs that with cognitive-behavioral techniques and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when needed. Trauma-focused and solution-focused ideas are added when the situation calls for them.
Her style is practical and encouraging. She helps people break down problems into manageable steps and track what works. Clients who want coaching-style support alongside therapy may find that blend familiar and useful.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Tessica uses client-centered therapy to start by listening and understanding what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on each client’s perspective and builds from their strengths to set meaningful goals.She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and daily stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills may be used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings get in the way.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tessica will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. She adapts techniques as progress is made and as priorities shift over time.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to attend regular sessions and practice skills between meetings when therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding extra errands.
