About Taryn
Taryn Crockerham is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.
Background and approach
She frames her work around collaborative, respectful engagement that helps clients explore thoughts and patterns while developing practical skills to manage day-to-day difficulties. Her training includes cognitive behavioral approaches along with client-centered and narrative methods that inform a flexible, individualized practice.
Her style emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental listening, inviting clients to share difficult emotions and life stories in a setting that values their perspective. Taryn also brings attention to related areas such as aging and geriatric issues, immigration and multicultural concerns, obsessions and compulsions, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and young adult issues.
She aims to partner with each person to identify goals and create achievable steps toward change, honoring personal values throughout the therapeutic process.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Taryn often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and manage mood. She also uses client-centered methods to create space for each person's experiences and values, emphasizing empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques may be incorporated to teach emotional regulation and interpersonal skills when intense emotions or relationship stress are present.Finding the right fit is part of the work together; Taryn will collaborate with clients to choose approaches that align with their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so that therapy remains relevant and practical, and encourages open feedback to refine the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care from home or during busy weeks, while still engaging in skill-building, reflection, and problem solving with a licensed professional.
