About Taylor
Taylor August is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Taylor also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and issues related to autism and neurodivergence.
Taylor uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Conversations often include skills practice for managing strong feelings and reducing overwhelm. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in what the person needs next.
Her work draws on client-centered principles, which means she follows the client's lead and pays attention to what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when feelings become intense. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck and want to make a change.
Taylor aims to help people set clearer boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, and rebuild a sense of self outside of others' needs. She talks through small, practical steps that can be used between sessions. Progress is paced to the individual's situation rather than rushed.
People who come to Taylor for support can expect a direct but respectful style. She focuses on building skills, increasing awareness, and creating routines that fit daily life. If you want to explore whether this approach fits, confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Taylor blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in ways that transfer well to remote sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps clarify priorities and goals. CBT involves identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and unhelpful reactions. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Taylor will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She uses that information collaboratively to decide whether to focus more on thought work, skills training, or motivational strategies in sessions.
The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting care into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. These adjustments help people keep therapy consistent alongside jobs, family responsibilities, and other day-to-day demands.
