Martia Taylor

Martia Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing hard changes and overwhelming feelings. She speaks plain language and aims to make therapy understandable and usable for daily life.

Her work often involves helping people navigate addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and shifts in life circumstances. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, stress, anxiety, bipolar mood changes, and depression. Sessions are shaped around each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Martia uses a client-centered way of working that puts the person’s goals first. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during transitions and on motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. In practice this looks like listening carefully, asking clear questions, and helping clients try small steps between sessions.

She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are adapted to what the person needs in the moment. Martia encourages people to take manageable steps toward a more satisfying life.

If a reader is unsure how therapy might help, Martia invites them to start with a short matching process and schedule a session. That first step is framed as a way to see how the approach fits personal goals and daily demands.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around the person’s goals. Online sessions using this approach will center on what the client brings and on practical steps to try between meetings.

Existential therapy pays attention to meaning and choice during life changes. In remote sessions this can help people talk through big questions and make clearer decisions when routines and roles shift.

Motivational interviewing is about building motivation for change, one small step at a time. Remotely, the therapist may help clarify goals, weigh options, and plan concrete actions that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Before booking, confirm the session formats offered by the therapist. This helps make sure appointment times, length, and check-in routines match a person’s everyday life and commitments.
