About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Tessica also addresses challenges such as addiction, grief, sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem, and codependency patterns.
Tessica approaches sessions assuming people know their own lives best. She listens for strengths and practical changes clients can make. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps to reduce overwhelm and build healthier patterns.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions collaborative and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Tessica uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings get in the way. Trauma-focused tools are used when past experiences continue to affect daily life.
In practical terms, Tessica helps people set clearer boundaries, manage anger, cope with life transitions, and address addictive behaviors. She also supports parents navigating stress linked to caregiving and blended family challenges. Work may include skill practice, problem-solving, and short-term goal setting.
Her background includes experience as a school counselor working with children in PK-12 settings for ten years before focusing on broader counseling practice. Sessions are offered in English and geared toward adults in Oklahoma.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches can work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping clarify goals and recognizing personal strengths. This approach can help people who feel lost in others' needs and want to rebuild a sense of self.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactive behaviors. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tessica will help determine which methods fit the client's needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins around breaks, or reducing the need to be on camera for the whole time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills work to the online setting so clients can practice between sessions.
