Keyonna Taylor, LSCSW

Keyonna Taylor is a licensed social worker who approaches therapy as a partnership that empowers clients to make meaningful changes. She believes that reaching out for help is often the first sign of readiness, and she works to provide practical support while encouraging clients to address challenges in healthier ways. As an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - she draws on clinical training and real-world experience to help clients take an objective look at their circumstances and identify the first steps toward improvement.

Her practice emphasizes an inclusive, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental style that centers the client as the expert in their own life. She offers a welcoming environment for minority, LGBTQA, and women clients, and she has shared that she identifies as a Black woman, heterosexual, cisgender, married, and a parent. Keyonna’s engagement style is collaborative and strengths-based, with a focus on empowering people as they navigate change.

Her background includes substantial work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. She uses an eclectic mix of approaches - including the strengths perspective, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, person-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, rational behavior therapy, and general case management/supportive therapy - tailoring methods to each person’s needs while forming a strong therapeutic alliance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Keyonna integrates evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet clients where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and focuses on clarifying values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their concerns while the therapist follows their lead and supports self-directed growth.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Keyonna works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, then blends methods to create a tailored plan rather than insisting on a single technique. This partnership helps determine what feels most effective over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so scheduling can fit busy lives and different comfort levels. For many people, these options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists while maintaining continuity through life transitions.
