She is a great therapist and a great friend. She makes me feel like I am being understood and listened to and allows me to work at my own pace and never rushes me. I work on just what I need to at the time with no pressure to have to get things done. I genuinely feel a human connection
More about Taylor
- 7 years' experience
- Non-binary
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi as well as a Board Certified Counselor through the National Board for Certified Counselors and a Board Certified TeleMental Health Professional. I have 7 years of post-graduate experience in counseling. I have worked in community mental health since completing my Masters of Education in Counselor Education in 2016, helping individuals with disorders such as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, social phobia, and bipolar disorder. I also have experience doing college counseling as an intern, where I worked with primarily young adults who were struggling to maintain academic success while coping with life issues. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy which I have used to help several people be able to cope with their traumatic experiences.
My counseling approach is geared towards promoting positive self-image, self-acceptance and love, and helping others enhance their worldview. I practice Solution-Focused therapy and Choice Theory along with a Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral stance. My goal as a counselor is to assist my clients in living lives that they enjoy and overcoming any obstacles that stand in their way. It is my belief that each person holds the key to their success.
Life can be challenging, and we all go through hard times that can cause us to experience setbacks. To be able to ask for help to overcome these challenges and be vulnerable requires humility and strength. I have been honored to serve the clients I have had and help them along in their journey towards emotional freedom and success, and I look forward to continuing to do this with you as well.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s been so good with me
She is a great therapist and a great friend. She makes me feel like I am being understood and listened to and allows me to work at my own pace and never rushes me. I work on just what I need to at the time with no pressure to have to get things done. I genuinely feel a human connection
Taylor is genuine and genuinely cares. I appreciate her kindness, and she always has an on-target response. I always end feeling better .
I feel Taylor Smith is an impressive therapist you genuinely empathize with her patience and provides great many opportunities for them to express themselves and feel comfortable with who they are. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone for therapy or just to have someone to talk to. She is very easy to talk with and makes me feel like I have a friend in her not just someone who will lecture me about what I need to do to fix myself but someone who genuinely cares and guides me to where I want to be.
Taylor is awesome! She's understanding and flexible and checks up regularly. She also tries different methods and listens to your concerns if you feel a certain method isn't working. I'm happy to have her as a therapist.
Taylor always replies with helpful advice. She has given me not only tools to help overall but also tools in the moment when I am in distress. Being able to text her when I am in a low moment is amazing. I don’t have to wait until an actual meeting to receive advice. Moments like that make it valuable to have her.
Taylor has been instrumental in helping with my mental help, being there every step of the way with me through thick and thin.
Great support and listens to my needs!
I love My Taylor Smith! She’s open to listening and have the perfect balance of directions with her approach. She makes me think!
Taylor has given me a variety of resources that help me work through things on my own time, and she's always reached out to me even when my schedule makes things tough. She's empathetic and encouraging.
Taylor has been so helpful for me. She is always there when I need her and she really understands my needs and why I’m here.
She is a very caring and nurturing therapist who listens and can follow no matter how rambling or incoherent I may feel.
She’s very professional but at the same time friendly and relatable.
