About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with 11 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. Her work often centers on listening, practical coping skills, and helping clients find clearer direction when life feels unsettled.
She uses familiar, straightforward methods to help people manage emotions and daily challenges. Sessions tend to focus on habits, thoughts, and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. Taryn blends approaches to match what each person needs in the moment rather than following one fixed method.
Her background includes work with relationship and communication problems, attachment concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care matters and aging and geriatric issues as areas of focus clients sometimes raise.
Taryn describes her perspective as informed by Christian values and aims to offer empathy, patience, and steady support. People who prefer a therapist who listens without rushing and who helps set small, achievable goals often find her style helpful.
She combines skills from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-based ideas, and attachment-informed work. The result is practical sessions that emphasize problem solving, emotional awareness, and building routines people can use between meetings.
How these approaches inform online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without struggling with them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants clearer purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and regulating emotions.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when days are hectic. It also lets people use longer sessions for deeper work or shorter visits for quick coping strategy reviews, depending on what works best for the individual.
