About Chrysse
Chrysse Taylor is a licensed social worker who supports adults coping with sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career challenges, major life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
With three years of professional experience, she helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by stress and guides them toward clearer priorities and more manageable daily routines. Chrysse brings focused attention to related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, codependency, and grief around end-of-life situations.
Her style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, centered on building a trusting relationship where clients can explore emotions and patterns without criticism. She uses evidence-based tools to tailor care to each person’s needs, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based work, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques.
Chrysse aims to help clients identify strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change. Licensed in both Washington, D.C.
(DC LICSW LC200004422) and Illinois (IL LCSW 149030047), Chrysse practices from Virginia and communicates in English. She offers flexible session options to fit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them, then committing to actions that align with personal values; it can help with stress, low self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and depressive moods; it is practical and skill-focused. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication, reduce feelings of abandonment, and strengthen coping in interpersonal situations.Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for progress and comfort.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or work, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care during life transitions or periods of high stress.
