About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eleven years of practice in New York. She supports people facing major life changes and persistent emotional struggles. Taryn centers care on each person's story and aims to be a steady presence during hard times.
She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. Taryn also addresses parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger, and career-related stress. Her work includes support for people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, and the fallout of substance problems.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several therapy styles, including the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT. She blends those tools to match what the person needs in practical sessions. Conversations often look at unhelpful thinking, patterns in relationships, and values that matter most to the client.
Taryn pays attention to family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and challenges that come with aging. She also helps people sort feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and forgiveness. Sessions aim to build clearer goals and everyday coping skills.
People meet with her to talk through communication problems, separation and divorce impacts, and recovery from domestic violence or addiction. Taryn offers a calm, nonjudgmental style that focuses on listening, reflection, and practical steps toward change.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Taryn uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication behavior, helping people learn clearer ways to connect and reduce repeated conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes moving toward meaningful values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking practical steps forward. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current feelings and relationship patterns, which can help people understand trust, closeness, and emotional needs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences. Progress is tracked together and adjustments are made when a different focus would serve better.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing brief support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay connected from different locations.
