About Taylor
Taylor Holmes is a California licensed marriage and family therapist who brings four years of clinical experience to sessions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns.
Background and approach
Taylor centers his work on the person in front of him and treats them as the expert on their own life. Taylor uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them.
He asks questions that point toward values and small changes. He supports clients in building confidence, managing concentration and memory struggles, and finding motivation for daily life.
He also addresses a wider range of concerns including autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and BDSM issues, gender dysphoria, first responder stress, and feelings of isolation. That wider focus means he will listen for how different parts of life interact and affect mood and coping.
Taylor often draws on existential ideas that help people consider meaning and purpose. He pairs that with solution-focused techniques that prioritize concrete steps and achievable goals.
Sessions typically mix reflective conversation with practical strategies to try between meetings. People meet him to talk through low mood, racing thoughts, identity questions, and the frustration of not feeling like oneself.
He aims to empower clients to notice strengths, test changes, and reclaim small wins. Working together, clients plan realistic next steps and measure progress over time.
How existential and solution-focused work translates online
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, identity, and purpose. Online sessions can use conversation to notice values, clarify what matters, and think about choices that shape daily life. This approach can help when people feel lost, stuck, or weighed down by uncertainty.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals. In video or text sessions the therapist and client identify concrete next actions and track small wins. This method suits people who want direct, short-term changes in routine, focus, or mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which ideas and techniques to try first. Together they set goals, try steps between meetings, and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or get shorter, focused support without scheduling a full call.
