Taylor Kent (Gibbs), LCSW

Taylor Kent (Gibbs) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience. She holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in social work from Indiana University and has supported clients across the lifespan, with most of her work focused on adolescents and adults. Over the course of her career she has helped people manage trauma, anxiety disorders, depression and other mood concerns, personality disorders, self-harm, and adjustment-related difficulties.

Taylor approaches therapy from a strengths-based, human-centered perspective, seeking to help people identify and build on their existing resources while developing practical strategies to reach their goals. Her manner is supportive and encouraging, and she aims to foster a therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to be authentic. She describes her style as laid back, conversational, and collaborative, using humor when appropriate to help clients feel at ease.

Her clinical work commonly draws from cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, attachment theories, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and other humanistic approaches. Treatment planning is individualized and focused on the person rather than a diagnostic label. Taylor welcomes questions from prospective clients and invites those considering therapy to reach out to determine whether she might be a good match.

Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and many stress-related concerns, offering practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for people experiencing intense emotions, self-harm urges, or difficulty managing relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy - Attachment-based work explores patterns of relating that arise from early relationships and how they affect current connections and self-understanding. This approach can support people working through abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and relational difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. Taylor Kent (Gibbs) will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts treatment plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or while traveling. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and life demands while maintaining ongoing therapeutic momentum.
