About Taylor
Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience. She has master's and bachelor's degrees in social work from Indiana University and most often works with adults and adolescents. Common concerns she sees include trauma, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, personality disorders, self-harm, and adjustment difficulties.
Her approach is conversational and collaborative. Sessions tend to be laid back and practical. She looks for strengths and helps people build on them to reach concrete goals.
Taylor draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques alongside attachment-informed and acceptance-based ideas. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and narrative elements when helpful. Treatment plans focus on what a person wants to change, not only on a diagnosis.
People who prefer a straightforward style may feel most comfortable. Expect a therapist who listens, gives clear feedback, and mixes practical skills with reflection. She avoids judgment and will use humor at times when it fits.
She has worked with a broad set of concerns that include stress, addictions, parenting strains, relationship and family problems, grief, ADHD, and blended family issues. If someone is unsure whether her approach is a fit, she invites questions before scheduling so people can get a sense of how she works.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so someone can take steps that matter despite anxiety or fear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches can help with anxiety, depression, and adjustment to family changes.Attachment-Based Therapy highlights patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. Working through those patterns can help with trust, communication, and closeness issues that often surface in blended households. Taylor uses these approaches together with client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person's goals and preferences. Choosing the right mix is a shared process - she will help figure out which methods fit the concerns and what feels doable for the client.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she runs sessions online. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow for a quicker check-in during a work break. Others prefer fewer demands on bandwidth or not being on camera; discussing those preferences ahead of time helps shape each session format. The emphasis is on practical work that fits everyday life and the goals the client sets.
