About Tomi

Tomi Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on self esteem alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting, ADHD, and related concerns. Tomi aims to make therapy practical and accessible for people juggling busy lives.

She uses mostly straightforward, relationship-focused methods. Sessions center on building stronger attachments, naming patterns that hold people back, and trying small changes that make life easier. Tomi combines talk-based work with techniques that address painful memories and unhelpful thinking.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as grief, sleeping problems, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and sexual assault and abuse. This range shapes a flexible approach to each person's needs.

Tomi trained in multiple therapeutic approaches and uses practical tools from those traditions. She helps people explore values, cope with life changes, and improve communication. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on achievable steps.

She practices in Maine and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional connection. It helps people see how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behavior, and then practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person's lead. This approach is useful for people who want a calm space to talk through identity, self esteem, or life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques across approaches and adjusting methods over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats when you book. Different formats can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week and may change how a session feels. Talk-based sessions can be shorter check-ins between visits, while video visits allow more face-to-face conversation. Ask about current options before scheduling so sessions fit with your routine and goals.
