About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with 11 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem difficulties, and anger. Her background includes work with parenting concerns and life transitions.
Taryn offers straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Her practice uses several therapeutic approaches to help clients manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas shape how she talks about relationship patterns and early family influences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed.
Taryn also pays attention to practical life factors. That includes adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, and problems tied to substance use or co-morbidity. She works with people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family of origin struggles.
Her practice mentions a Christian-informed perspective for those who want it integrated into sessions. She aims to help clients build clearer communication, steadier emotional responses, and better day-to-day coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Taryn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values even when emotions run high. ACT focuses on actions and purpose rather than trying to change every feeling.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that increase frustration and anger. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps most in early sessions and adjusting approaches as needed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better for someone's schedule. Therapists can also assign brief skill practices to use between meetings so progress carries into daily life.
