About Tessica

Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and sleep concerns. She frames clients as the expert on their own story and focuses on each person’s strengths. Tessica encourages people to take steady steps toward change and offers support during difficult moments.

She draws on client-centered methods to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. Tessica also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma is part of the story, she applies trauma-focused approaches to address the impact of painful events.

In sessions Tessica aims to make treatment practical and goal-oriented. She works with people on concrete tools for coping, stress management, and improving sleep and daily routines. Conversations include skill practice, problem solving, and reviewing what helps between meetings.

Her background includes seven years of professional counseling experience and prior work as a school counselor for children from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Tessica brings that experience into her approach when relevant to client goals.

People who choose her can expect steady, collaborative care that balances listening with hands-on strategies. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and build routines that support better rest, mood, and daily functioning.

How these approaches guide online care

Tessica uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s perspective at the center of work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals and strengths. It is useful for building trust and deciding what change looks like.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for sleep problems, anxiety, mood, and daily routines by teaching specific skills and homework tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find virtual sessions can fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Online work can support practicing CBT skills between meetings and keeping momentum on sleep and routine changes without requiring extra travel.
