About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings 11 years of experience supporting people through major life changes and emotional challenges. Taryn focuses on clear, compassionate care so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, attachment issues, and codependency. Taryn supports people facing anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and other changes that can feel overwhelming.
Taryn uses several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thinking and acceptance-based tools to help people live in line with their values. Attachment-oriented work and client-centered listening shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns.
Her style is direct and caring. Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday life. Clients can expect to talk through problems, try skills in session, and set small steps to practice between meetings.
Taryn also notes a Christian-informed perspective in her practice. That element is offered as part of how she frames meaning and hope when clients ask for it. People looking for steady support while they figure out next steps often find her approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Taryn uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand and change how they connect with others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches over time to address shifting needs.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a short check-in during a break, avoid travel time, or meet when relocating. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the currently offered options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
