About Tessica

Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. She approaches work with respect for each person's story and strengths. Tessica encourages clients to take the first steps toward change and offers steady support as they make those changes.

With seven years of counseling experience and a decade as a certified school counselor working with PK-12 students, she blends practical skills with an encouraging attitude. Tessica uses clear, goal-focused methods to tackle worries about mood, relationships, work, and daily functioning. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, manageable steps forward.

Her approach includes client-centered work that keeps the person's priorities at the center. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build healthier patterns. Dialectical behavior skills help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

Tessica also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when those fit a person's goals. She can help with issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Tessica respects each person's pace and works collaboratively to find what helps.

People who connect with her typically get straight talk, concrete tools, and a clear plan. The focus is on practical changes that fit everyday life and on strengthening the skills someone already has.

How her approaches guide online care

Tessica uses client-centered therapy to keep the person’s goals and values at the center of sessions. This approach means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and the therapist asks questions to clarify priorities and strengths.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change patterns in mood and behavior. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Dialectical behavior therapy techniques may be used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. These tools help when strong emotions or repeated reactivity make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will recommend strategies that fit their situation. This process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
