About Tayler
Tayler Iversen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers straightforward, compassionate therapy from Utah. She focuses on helping people handle grief, trauma, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. Her style is direct and warm, with an emphasis on practical skills people can use between sessions.
Tayler draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match care to each person's needs. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
She brings mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. For people recovering from traumatic events, she may incorporate EMDR techniques to process intrusive memories. Motivational Interviewing informs conversations about change, especially around substance use and ambivalence about next steps.
These methods are woven into sessions in ways that fit each client’s pace. Tayler has seven years of clinical experience across a range of concerns, including adoption and foster care, body image, sexual assault and abuse, and relationship structures like polyamory and kink. She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, social anxiety, and young adult transitions.
Therapy with Tayler is collaborative. She helps people set achievable goals, tries out skills together, and adjusts plans based on what works. Her aim is to make therapy useful and manageable for everyday life.
Online therapy using skills and trauma‑focused methods
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people handle overwhelming moments and reduce reactive behaviors.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to work through distressing memories. It combines focused attention on a memory with guided processing to reduce the intensity of intrusive images and emotions related to trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether DBT skills, EMDR techniques, mindfulness, or motivational conversations best fit their goals. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skills coaching. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily needs.
