Janay Taylor , MD, LCSW-C

Janay Taylor is an MD and Licensed Certified Social Worker, Clinical who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on issues many women face, including body image, self-love, and the pressure of balancing goals. Janay uses straightforward conversation and practical steps so people can start making small changes right away.

She trained at Salisbury University, earning both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. For several years she worked with people involved in the child welfare system, guiding efforts to reunify children with birth families. That hands-on experience shaped her focus on clear communication and realistic planning.

Janay has five years of therapy experience and received her clinical social work license in 2021. Her sessions blend listening with guided practice so people can try new habits during and between meetings. She draws on strengths-based ideas to help clients notice what already works in their lives and build from there.

In sessions, Janay emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients clarify values, set manageable goals, and practice skills for emotional regulation and improved communication. That approach is useful for people dealing with commitment worries, divorce or separation, and relationship breakdowns.

Clients often work on concrete topics like money and financial stress, process-related behaviors such as gambling or exercise, and social anxiety. Janay aims to help each person find a clearer sense of purpose and greater confidence in daily life.

Online approaches that fit daily life

Janay uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and improved communication. One core approach emphasizes skills training for emotional regulation and anger management, teaching short exercises and behavior strategies people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Another commonly used method centers on communication and relationship skills, helping people identify patterns, set boundaries, and try new ways of talking that improve connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Janay works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and situation. She adjusts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to be changed so the work remains useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, and tools that can be used between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress moving forward.
