About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC with three decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on what clients want from life and helps them clarify the thoughts and feelings that brought them to counseling. Christie writes plainly and works to build trust so people feel safe talking about hard things.
Her background includes leadership roles in mental health and addiction treatment across hospitals and community programs. She has led psychiatric services from acute inpatient care to outpatient counseling and developed programs addressing addiction and chronic pain. She has also taught mental health and addiction courses as adjunct faculty for many years.
In sessions she emphasizes recovery from mood-altering substances and practical ways to change thought patterns that affect feelings. She draws on attachment-focused ideas and cognitive-behavioral strategies to address relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, and codependency patterns. She also uses client-centered and existential approaches to help people find meaning and direction.
Christie has extensive experience working with teens affected by parental alcoholism and addiction, and she has a long history of counseling children. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, chronic illness, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her work balances direct problem-solving with attention to personal values and goals.
People describe her approach as grounded and practical. She invites clients to set goals, try changes between sessions, and reflect on progress. Her aim is to walk alongside people as they rebuild routines, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and behavior. It helps when relationship patterns or trust issues make it hard to connect or manage emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's own goals and experience, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk things through and decide the next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape short-term goals and practical steps between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, since it may reduce travel time and allow appointments during work breaks or from different locations. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or camera-free conversations when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals adapt tools from attachment work and CBT to an online setting to help with emotion regulation, behavior change, and relationship concerns without promising a particular format.
