About Taylor

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of experience helping people navigate mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in social work from Indiana University and has worked with a range of ages, with much of her time focused on adolescents and adults. Her work addresses a wide spectrum of issues including depression, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach combines warmth and practicality; she aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and empowered. Taylor emphasizes clients' strengths and partners with them to develop tailored strategies rather than relying solely on diagnostic labels.

Therapy sessions are typically conversational and collaborative, with humor and authenticity used when appropriate. Clinically she integrates Internal Family Systems, acceptance- and evidence-informed tools such as cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered principles to fit each person’s goals and life circumstances.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to increase accessibility. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions and use the site’s matching process to get started, then schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views emotions and behaviors as parts of an internal system that can be understood, compassionately explored, and guided toward balance; this approach often helps with trauma responses, self-criticism, and inner conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and safety in relationships, aiming to repair attachment wounds and improve communication and trust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and day-to-day preferences, and then adapt elements from these methods so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow people to engage in therapeutic work from wherever they are, using the approaches above in ways that suit their pace and lifestyle.
