She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns with practical strategies and steady support. Her style is warm and encouragement-focused, aimed at helping people feel more capable and understood.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in community psychology from Saint Cloud State University and a master’s degree in Adlerian counseling and psychotherapy with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from Adler Graduate School. Early in her career she served as a Guardian ad Litem on child protection and family cases. That work shaped her interest in family dynamics and child welfare.

Her background includes a graduate internship and positions at a behavioral health clinic where she provided services in a rural Minnesota school and at a community clinic. She currently works full time as a mental health professional at a community mental health clinic in Minnesota. Her clinical experience covers children, adolescents, adults, and young adults up to age 65.

Tylor draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Sessions emphasize empathy, encouragement, and small steps toward goals. She also has training in Parent-Child Interactive Therapy and experience supporting people after traumatic events.

People who choose her often want clear strategies for coping, help navigating parenting or caregiver stress, or support working through grief, identity questions, mood concerns, or life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and focused on what matters most to each person.

Using CBT and Person-Centered Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and helping people feel heard so they can find their own solutions. This approach supports people dealing with relationship strain, identity questions, or caregiving stress by prioritizing the client’s perspective and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then practice concrete strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with life changes, offering short-term tools and homework to build new skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and short updates between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
