About Tayler

Tayler Iversen is a Utah-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience working with adults. She focuses on issues including LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Tayler also lists other areas she addresses such as adoption and foster care, body image, substance issues, and guilt and shame.

She aims to be direct and open in sessions. Tayler uses practical tools and conversation to help people name what they are feeling and figure out what might help next. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps a person can try between meetings.

Tayler draws from several evidence-informed approaches. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing techniques appear in her work to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change.

Her background as a clinical social worker includes seven years supporting adults through stressful life transitions and after traumatic events. She practices in Utah and conducts work in English.

People who come to her often want straightforward guidance about grief, past hurts, identity questions, or shame and guilt that keep coming up. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options by following the site's process for arranging an initial appointment.

How Tayler uses DBT, EMDR and mindfulness online

Many of Tayler's methods translate into practical online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills can be practiced in sessions and applied during everyday moments to better manage intense feelings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method for helping people process traumatic memories. In brief, it pairs focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation while the therapist supports pacing and safety. Mindfulness Therapy asks people to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with less judgment so habitual reactions soften over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tayler will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a skills-focused track, exploring trauma processing, or combining elements from different approaches.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises for video or phone work so practical skills and processing can continue between appointments.
