Chrysse Taylor , LICSW, LCSW

Chrysse Taylor is a licensed social worker who helps people facing sleep problems, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, life changes, and compassion fatigue. She uses a warm, collaborative style that aims to make sessions feel straightforward and supportive. Chrysse listens without judgment and helps clients break concerns into manageable steps.

She draws on practical, evidence-based approaches to guide work in the room. Conversations focus on what matters to the client now and what small changes could improve daily life. Sessions include problem-solving, skills practice, and checking what works between meetings.

Chrysse has three years of clinical experience and holds a DC LICSW and an IL LCSW. She sees adults dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, attachment and abandonment worries, issues around aging and end-of-life concerns, communication problems, and patterns like codependency or avoidant and dependent personality traits.

Her sessions often combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with attachment-informed perspectives. That blend helps people notice thoughts and feelings, choose actions that match their values, and shift unhelpful habits over time.

Chrysse works with clients in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. Therapy is offered using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with scheduling arranged after completing a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing stress, low mood, or feeling stuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. That approach often helps with sleep problems, low self-esteem, and anxiety by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chrysse will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day reality. Together they set small, testable steps and review what helps over time so the plan adjusts to real results and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat and messaging let people send brief updates or use shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while still working on the same approaches used in traditional sessions.
