Keyonna Taylor , LSCSW

Keyonna Taylor is an LSCSW - a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - who partners with people ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. She views seeking help as the first sign of motivation and readiness, and she focuses on empowering clients to take practical steps toward their goals. By offering a calm, down-to-earth presence, she helps individuals examine their circumstances with greater objectivity so they can make informed choices and begin to change patterns that no longer serve them.

She provides an inclusive, nonjudgmental environment for minority, LGBTQA, and women clients. She identifies as a Black woman, heterosexual, cisgender, married, and a parent, and she centers each person as the expert in their own life. Her relational style emphasizes respect, collaboration, and practical problem solving.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. She draws from an eclectic set of methods - including the strengths perspective, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered work, solution-focused strategies, rational behavior therapy, and general case management and supportive therapy - to tailor care to each client. She aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance to help clients meet their needs and reach their goals.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Keyonna Taylor incorporates several evidence-informed methods into her online work to help clients develop skills and move toward their goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and supported while they explore their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching practical strategies for managing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Keyonna will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as the work evolves and as clients gain new skills.

Online therapy with Keyonna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and other commitments. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and a variety of ways to engage that can suit different communication styles and life demands.
