About Trisha

Trisha Taylor is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients facing relationship and family strains, fertility and adoption questions, and challenges around sexual identity.

Trisha earned a Master’s in Counseling in 2011 and holds a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT. Her work blends practical problem-solving with an emphasis on personal choice and awareness. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps with managing emotions, changing unhelpful patterns, and building better day-to-day coping skills. Trisha often uses focused goal-setting and skills practice so clients leave sessions with clear next steps.

She works with people dealing with a range of life transitions including career shifts, parenting stress, blended family concerns, and recovery from trauma or domestic violence. Trisha also addresses eating and sleeping problems, codependency, communication issues, and grief related to loss and separation.

People who want a direct, supportive clinician and concrete strategies may find her style helpful. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and follow the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to clarify values and goals. It helps people who need a supportive space to make decisions and rebuild confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help with intense mood swings, anger, and habits that feel hard to change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trisha will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing format options during the first steps helps ensure sessions match practical needs and personal comfort.
