Her background includes supporting people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and substance-related concerns.

People who choose to work with her are often looking for straightforward, skills-based support alongside space to process emotions. Taryn works with adults and accepts international clients who prefer to do sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small, value-driven steps. It can help when worry, avoidance, or life transitions are getting in the way of daily living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations, which can be useful when working through blended family dynamics or parenting tensions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taryn will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they land, and adjusting the focus as needed so sessions remain useful and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to an online setting so the work can be applied between meetings.
