About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and anger. She also addresses relationship and parenting concerns and supports those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Her work draws on several practical therapies to help people manage emotions and make clearer choices. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that reduce overwhelm. Taryn uses straightforward strategies to improve thinking patterns, manage strong feelings, and strengthen important relationships.
She pays attention to attachment history and how early relationships affect current reactions. That can look like talking through patterns people repeat and testing different ways of responding. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she helps people build safety and stability before tackling harder material.
Taryn integrates skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer concrete tools. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and relationships. Her Christian-informed perspective is part of how some clients make sense of their experience.
People will find a practical, plainspoken approach aimed at reducing reactivity and improving daily functioning. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes because it focuses on small behavior steps rather than getting stuck in thought loops.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills for noticing thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems active. It is practical for managing stress, depression, and reactive anger by building concrete habits and coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that reduce impulsive reactions. Those tools can help when frustration escalates quickly or when someone wants steadier responses during conflict.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what actually helps. That shared testing makes it easier to land on methods that fit a person’s life and values.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit meetings into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Those practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while they practice new responses to anger and stress.
