Taylor August , LMHC

Taylor August is a licensed mental health counselor (MA LMHC) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and changes in life. She focuses on women's issues alongside concerns like self-esteem and young adult challenges. Her work aims to make problems feel more manageable and to build practical skills for everyday life.

Taylor uses a calm, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name patterns in thoughts and feelings. That groundwork leads to simple, repeated steps clients can try between meetings.

Her practice draws on Client-Centered methods to keep therapy focused on each person’s goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. These approaches are paired with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need skills for intense emotions or distress tolerance.

Over six years of clinical work in Massachusetts have given her experience with a wide range of concerns. She often supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, codependency, workplace stress, and mood-related issues. Taylor also works with clients affected by obsessive-compulsive patterns and social anxiety.

Sessions move at a practical pace and are tailored to what the client wants to change. People can expect straightforward homework, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments when an approach isn’t working. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more confidence in daily life.

Approaches and online options for skill-based work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people set their own goals. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead and supports whatever change matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship worries.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds concrete skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. It is useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when someone needs steady tools for stressful moments.

Taylor treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan when needed. That collaborative process helps guide which techniques will be most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat lets people check in or do shorter coaching-style work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules and let people choose the format that helps them engage best.
