About Tessica
Tessica Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, and coping with life changes. Tessica also addresses issues like addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, and career stress.
Before focusing on adult counseling, she spent a decade as a certified school counselor working with children in PK–12 public schools. That background shaped her direct, practical approach to problems and her emphasis on client strengths. Tessica uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning rather than jargon.
In sessions she draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are brought in for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. She also employs Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to keep work grounded and goal-oriented.
Tessica pays attention to what clients already do well and helps expand those skills into daily life. Sessions typically include setting concrete goals, practicing coping strategies, and checking progress each week. She encourages people to try small changes and notice their effects.
Her practice includes support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar and depressive disorders, eating and sleeping problems, and a range of family-related stresses. People seeking a clear, practical way forward often choose to start by describing their main worry and a first small goal.
