ONLINE ANXIETY & LGBTQ+ THERAPY FOR ADULTS
You understand your anxiety. So why do you still feel stuck?
You know you're overthinking. You recognize the patterns. You might even know exactly which coping skills you're supposed to use.
But knowing something and feeling differently are two different things.
I'm Taylor, and I offer online therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, LGBTQ+ identity, and complicated emotions. Whether you've spent years trying to figure yourself out or you're still working on the basics, we'll start with what's happening in your life.
Licensed therapist, 10+ years | Online therapy in 7 states

Insurance availability varies by state and plan. Delaware and South Carolina sessions are private pay.

What I Help With
Sometimes the issue is anxiety. Sometimes it's the pressure you've been putting on yourself for years. And sometimes you're trying to figure out who you are apart from what everyone else expects.
Here are some of the things we might work on together.
Anxiety & overthinking: Replaying conversations, anticipating what might go wrong, and feeling like your brain never gets a break.
Perfectionism & self-criticism: Getting things done but never feeling like you've done enough.
Nervous-system overwhelm: Feeling on edge, shut down, or unable to access the coping skills you know when you need them.
Relationships & boundaries: Caring about other people without feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions.
LGBTQ+ identity & gender exploration: Exploring who you are, your relationships, and what feels right for you without pressure to reach a particular answer.
Religious trauma & changing beliefs: Sorting through expectations, guilt, grief, and identity when old beliefs no longer fit.
Grief, anger & complicated emotions: Understanding feelings that seem contradictory, including moments when love and resentment or grief and relief show up together.
Maybe you know you're catastrophizing. Maybe you recognize your anxiety as soon as the overthinking starts. You've read the books, tried the breathing exercises, and reminded yourself there's no immediate danger.
And yet, your body still reacts.
Exploring identity, coming out, navigating relationships, or questioning beliefs you grew up with brings up all sorts of experiences. Some are freeing. Others are confusing, painful, or complicated.
I also offer a separate Safe and Sound Protocol membership. SSP Core includes five hours of filtered music, divided into listening sessions with individualized pacing. Visit the SSP page for current membership details, included support, and pricing.
Meet Your Therapist
I’M TAYLOR GARFF (he/him).
I've been working as a therapist since 2014, and my approach is pretty conversational. I'm curious, sometimes a little direct, and comfortable bringing humor into our conversations when the moment fits.
I'm not interested in handing you a worksheet and calling our work done. I'd rather understand what's happening for you.
We might slow down a particular moment, look at what you were thinking or feeling, and notice how your body responded. Sometimes we'll find a pattern worth exploring. Sometimes we'll realize an explanation doesn't fit, and that's useful information too.
You get to disagree with me. You get to be uncertain. We figure things out together.
I'm also a gay guy who grew up Mormon, an avid reader, a gamer, and someone who spends a significant amount of time with his pets.

What Therapy With Me Looks Like
You don't have to be good at therapy.
You don't need to show up with a detailed agenda, the perfect words, or a list of everything you've done wrong.
Some sessions involve talking through something painful. Others involve getting curious about a thought, reaction, or pattern you've noticed a hundred times before.
I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, and nervous-system-informed approaches, depending on what fits your needs.
We'll take your concerns seriously without making every conversation stiff or clinical.
And if you're not sure where to start? That's okay too.
