Taylor Poucel, LICSW

Taylor is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Behavioral Therapist at CBTeam. She specializes in the evidence-based treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and related conditions, providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based behavioral approaches.

Before joining CBTeam, Taylor gained extensive experience supporting adolescents in independent school and higher-acuity mental health settings. She worked as a Mental Health Counselor at Tabor Academy and previously served as an Upper School Counselor at Severn School, providing individual counseling, mental health assessment, crisis intervention, and collaborative care with families, school teams, and outside providers. Taylor also worked with children and adolescents in Sheppard Pratt’s Child & Adolescent Day Hospital Program, where she provided group therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and participated in multidisciplinary treatment and aftercare planning. Earlier in her career, she completed clinical training and served in a wellness leadership role at Groton School, where she developed and implemented social-emotional learning and health programming for students.

Outside of work, Taylor enjoys visiting new towns, reading, spending time with her miniature dachshund, Stella, and watching movies. Taylor values building strong therapeutic relationships and believes meaningful therapy requires both genuine connection and honest conversation. Clients can expect her to be warm, direct, and engaged while taking the time to understand their experiences and respecting the pace that feels right for them. She integrates evidence-based CBT and ERP with humor, openness, and practical skill-building to help clients build confidence and make meaningful change.
