About Taryn
Taryn Santos is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings 11 years of experience helping people through major life changes and strong emotions. Taryn focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or low self-esteem.
Her style centers on listening first and helping clients name what matters to them. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including Jungian ideas about inner symbols and narrative, cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, and skills-based work for coping in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for reflection and deeper personal meaning. Taryn often helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, career transitions, and the fallout from trauma or addiction. She also addresses family-of-origin concerns, attachment struggles, and issues connected to adoption and foster care.
The aim is to reduce immediate distress while building long-term resilience. Her practice is informed by a Christian perspective she names in her work, which some clients find grounding when exploring values and purpose. Taryn supports people from different backgrounds and life stages, tailoring care to individual goals rather than a single method.
People who prefer a calm, compassionate guide who balances practical tools with deeper meaning often find her approach helpful. She emphasizes small, achievable steps and steady progress toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jungian therapy looks at patterns, symbols, and personal stories to help people find meaning in difficult experiences. It can be useful for clients who want to understand recurring themes in their life and inner conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking action that matters. It helps with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with trust, intimacy, and communication issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and what feels helpful. Together they try different methods and choose the mix that fits the person's needs and preferences rather than relying on one fixed method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or movement is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage sudden stressors, and maintain continuity during life transitions.
