Janay Taylor

Janay Taylor is a Licensed Certified Social Worker, Clinical (LCSW-C) based in Maryland. She focuses on helping adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and challenges to self-esteem. Janay aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through what’s happening and find steps that fit their lives.

She brings five years of clinical experience to her work and earned both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Salisbury University. Early in her career she worked with people involved in the child welfare system and supported efforts to reunify children with birth families. That hands-on background shaped her interest in stress-related problems and practical coping skills.

In sessions she uses empathetic listening, guided practice, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. She helps people identify what matters most to them and build small habits that move them toward their goals. Conversations focus on clear, usable strategies rather than long theory talks.

Janay works with adults on issues such as communication problems, attachment concerns, body image, process addictions, and life purpose. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, money and financial stress, social anxiety, and women's issues. Her approach is tailored to each person’s situation and preferences.

Her aim is to help clients gain confidence in their ability to manage strong emotions and make sustainable changes. Janay encourages a collaborative process where clients and she decide what to try next based on progress and real-world needs.

Approaches for handling anger and stress online

Janay uses evidence-based techniques focused on listening, practice, and strengths. One approach emphasizes guided practice where clients try new skills between sessions and then review what worked. This helps with managing anger, stress, and everyday reactions by turning ideas into habits.

A second approach centers on strengths-based work that highlights a person’s existing resources and abilities. Sessions focus on what someone already does well and how to expand those skills to improve relationships and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janay treats the choice of techniques as collaborative. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work on communication, anger management, and coping skills from wherever they are, while letting the therapist and client choose the pace and tools that suit daily life.
