Hello! My name is Taylor Dotson, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with a passion for providing inclusive and affirming therapy to individuals. With over 3 years of experience in mental health, my practice is dedicated to supporting clients in their journeys towards self-acceptance, healing, and empowerment.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Case Western Reserve University, and I am licensed by the state of Ohio to practice independently. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, compassionate, and strengths-based, drawing on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness techniques.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with clients addressing a wide range of issues including identity exploration, coming out, relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly discuss their experiences and challenges without fear of judgment.
Outside of my professional life, I am an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and actively participate in community events and organizations. In my personal time, I enjoy painting, going to concerts, playing with my 4 cats, and spending time with my close-knit group of friends and family.
I believe that everyone deserves to live authentically and to thrive. I am here to support you on your path to mental wellness and to help you navigate the complexities of life with confidence and resilience.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
