About Trisha

Trisha Taylor is a California-licensed LMFT with 14 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, relationship strains, and identity concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and frames therapy as a collaborative process that blends practical skills with personal insight.

Background and approach

Trisha’s background includes a Master’s in Counseling completed in 2011 and years of clinical and coaching work that inform her flexible, goal-oriented style. Her practice draws from a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, and dialectical skills, together with existential and mindfulness-informed perspectives.

Trisha frequently integrates solution-focused strategies and motivational techniques to help clients build coping skills, address addictive behaviors, manage mood and anxiety symptoms, and work through family, adoption, or fertility-related concerns. She emphasizes helping clients identify realistic goals, develop practical tools, and foster greater self-compassion as they move through life transitions and healing processes.

Combining evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Trisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, and many addiction-related behaviors. She also employs client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. When appropriate, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are added to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Trisha works with each person to explore their needs, preferences, and goals and adapts methods accordingly, combining skill-building, reflective exploration, and motivational techniques to determine the best fit over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to access care around work, family, or travel commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of support and practice new skills between sessions while fitting therapy into a client’s everyday life.
