About Taylor

Taylor Wentzel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in northwest Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on substance use and addictions while also supporting people managing stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Taylor emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and seeks to empower clients to make sustainable changes aligned with their goals. Her approach to care is collaborative and individualized; she tailors session plans to fit each person’s needs and priorities rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Taylor works with concerns related to self-esteem, motivation, coping with life transitions, and self-love, using practical strategies to help clients build confidence and move toward healthier patterns. She encourages taking the courageous first step toward change and aims to support clients through that process with steady guidance and encouragement.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment that helps people explore their values and goals; this approach can be especially useful when building self-esteem and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that contribute to substance use. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps strengthen a person’s internal motivation to change, often used alongside work on addiction and ambivalence about treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will evaluate progress and adjust strategies so care remains practical and goal-focused.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations within Louisiana. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, continue momentum between meetings, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for the individual.
