Taylor Kent (Gibbs), LCSW

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience. She has bachelor's and master's degrees in social work from Indiana University. She has worked with adults and adolescents and focuses on real-life struggles like trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and self-harm.

Her approach is supportive and down-to-earth. She aims to help people notice strengths they already have and build practical strategies that fit their lives. Sessions are collaborative and conversational, and she uses humor when it helps move things forward.

Treatment is tailored to the person rather than a diagnosis. She commonly draws on cognitive and dialectical behavior tools, attachment ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to shape a plan together. That plan is meant to be concrete and usable between sessions.

She emphasizes authenticity and respect in the room. Her goal is that people feel heard, safe, and able to speak openly without judgment. Taylor helps people set goals, try new coping skills, and track small changes over time.

If someone wants to explore options before committing, she encourages questions to find a good fit. She welcomes straightforward conversations about what someone needs and how therapy could help with life changes or midlife concerns.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on values-based action. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and coping, which can be useful for relationship struggles and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what is helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a normal week. It also allows more frequent check-ins or shorter meetings when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises, homework, and grounding techniques for use between sessions so progress continues in daily life.
