About Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience, Taylor Wentzel helps people facing substance use concerns, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also addresses self-esteem, motivation, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity. Taylor practices in English and works from a counseling perspective that centers the client's goals and choices.
Taylor favors conversations that focus on what feels useful right now. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and to follow each person's priorities. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people are working through change related to substance use and other habits.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Taylor helps people set small, practical steps and checks in on progress. She discusses coping strategies for anxiety, ways to manage cravings or substance use, and approaches to rebuild confidence after setbacks.
Her background includes five years of counseling experience in northwest Louisiana. Taylor holds the LPC credential and applies that scope of practice in her work. She encourages straightforward communication about expectations and timing so each person knows what to expect from sessions.
Many clients begin by identifying one or two immediate concerns. Taylor uses that focus to build short-term goals and to reassess as work progresses. She asks about strengths and past successes to help people reconnect with skills they already have.
To start, she guides people through a brief intake and scheduling step. Taylor aims to keep sessions practical and centered on what the client wants to change next.

How her approaches are used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions begin with what the person wants to address and the therapist reflects and clarifies to keep the conversation on track. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental place to talk about stress, identity, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new coping strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, low self-esteem, and for changing behaviors linked to substance use.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. The therapist asks questions that help people weigh options and identify their own reasons for change, which can be useful for drug and alcohol concerns or building new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Taylor will discuss methods, try strategies in session, and adjust plans based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on practical steps the client wants to take next.

Many people find remote sessions useful for fitting counseling into a busy day, keeping check-ins shorter, or avoiding travel. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the length of sessions.
