About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of professional experience. She has a background as a school counselor working with children in PK-12 for ten years, and she helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and anger.
Tessica uses straightforward conversation and concrete skills in sessions. She treats clients as the expert in their own life and points out strengths they can build on. Expect direct interventions along with space to make sense of what is happening in day-to-day life.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused steps to reduce intense reactions and improve communication. Trauma-focused work is part of her practice when past events keep affecting current behavior.
In practical terms she helps people notice patterns that lead to outbursts, learn ways to calm down, and practice different responses. She works on problem-solving at work or home, coping with loss, and managing sleep or eating problems that feed stress.
Clients who choose her often want simple, usable techniques rather than long theoretical talks. Tessica aims to translate therapeutic ideas into actions that fit daily routines. If you want clear steps to manage anger and related concerns, she blends skills training with respectful listening to move things forward.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. It involves active listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them identify strengths to use in stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings are intense.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tessica will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and their situation. That process can include trying a skills-based move for a few weeks, then adapting based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on noisy days or when a quicker refresh is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for a screen or phone so skills practice and problem-solving stay practical and focused.
