About Chrysse
Chrysse Taylor is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, career questions, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are for people who feel stuck after big changes in work, relationships, or health and want practical support to move forward.
She helps people name what matters to them and develop step-by-step ways to manage stress and overwhelm. Conversations focus on concrete strategies - improving sleep habits, practicing new ways of thinking, and setting small goals for daily life. Chrysse uses clear exercises from evidence-based methods rather than abstract theory.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She listens for patterns in relationships and behavior, then introduces tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and to clarify values. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to strengthen motivation for change.
Chrysse also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and early losses are part of the problem. For people facing aging, chronic illness, caregiver stress, or end-of-life concerns, she focuses on practical coping skills and realistic problem solving. Sessions may include planning, communication practice, and emotion regulation work.
She emphasizes short, usable steps that fit into everyday life. The aim is to help people gain clearer direction, reduce the grip of worry and fatigue, and build routines that support daily functioning. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Chrysse commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to act on those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current struggles. Together with clients she reviews relationship dynamics and practices new ways of relating to others. Finding the right approach is part of the work; she helps clients decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences through an open, collaborative process.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. The practical aim is to integrate therapy into everyday routines so skills and plans can be tried between meetings.
