Online sessions and therapeutic style
Taryn offers online work that blends values-focused and skills-based approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clarify what matters to the individual and to support committed action in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. Sessions using ACT emphasize identifying personal values and experimenting with practical steps in day-to-day life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches provide structure for addressing unhelpful thinking patterns and building emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Those seeking concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, or mood concerns may find this combination useful. Attachment-Based Therapy is incorporated to explore relational patterns, early bonds, and how past attachments influence current relationships.
Taryn frames work as collaborative, adapting techniques to fit each person’s goals and style. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She accepts international clients and tailors the format of sessions to what best supports the therapeutic process.
