About Beverley
Dr. Beverley Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience.
Background and approach
She aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, and issues with self-esteem. Her approach is practical and goal-focused so clients can make steady progress.
She draws on client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities. From there she blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and Gottman Method ideas for relationship work when relevant.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, small action steps, and skills people can use between meetings. Dr.
Taylor has worked in schools, taught at universities, and maintained a independent practice for several years. That range of settings shaped her to be flexible and down-to-earth when supporting people through change.
She encourages clients to be active partners in planning treatment. In typical sessions she helps uncover patterns that keep problems going and then practices new responses together.
For example, clients might learn ways to manage anxiety, set boundaries, rebuild trust, or improve sleep and daily routines. The focus is always on what will make life feel better in concrete ways.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, practical tools, and steady support while they work toward clear goals. Dr.
Taylor aims to be encouraging and purposeful as clients take steps to improve their daily lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Taylor uses client-centered listening to start, which means she focuses on understanding each person's needs and priorities before suggesting steps. Client-centered work helps people feel heard and shapes the plan around their goals rather than imposing a fixed program.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges where changing routines or thinking patterns can help.
When relationship issues come up she brings in ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Those techniques concentrate on small conversational skills, rebuilding trust, and creating short action tasks couples can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's goals, temperament, and schedule. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is best for deep conversations and skills practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework, or shorter sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other commitments.
