About Chrysse
Chrysse Taylor, LICSW, LCSW, helps people facing sleep problems, low self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. Her approach aims to help people slow down, make clearer choices, and take manageable steps forward.
Chrysse uses a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental style. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical tools that fit each person’s life. She encourages clients to name their values and to try small, doable changes that build confidence over time.
Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attachment-based ideas and motivational interviewing also shape how she talks about relationships and motivation. These methods are used to help people rethink unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping skills.
Chrysse has three years of clinical experience and holds both a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. She practices in Virginia and often helps people facing the stresses of caregiving, aging concerns, chronic illness, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
In sessions she helps people set realistic goals and track small steps toward them. The focus is on practical change rather than labels. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they most want to address and bring that to the first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for sleep problems, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood, and habit changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. From there she tailors the plan and checks in regularly to adjust methods as needed in a collaborative way.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a break from work. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on skills practice, short exercises, and goal tracking that can be done between meetings. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit into your routine and support steady progress.
