About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and codependency. She also supports those coping with trauma, parenting challenges, mood disorders, career shifts, and caregiving stress. People find her straightforward and focused on practical change. She introduces ways to manage feelings and make clearer choices about the future.
Dr. Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of work in mental health and addiction services. She has led psychiatric programs across levels of care and directed non-profit addiction treatment efforts. She has also taught in mental health and addiction counseling programs at several universities for many years.
In sessions she begins by building trust and helping people sort out the thoughts and feelings that brought them to therapy. She pays attention to what clients want for their lives and to small steps that move them toward those goals. When past events interfere with the present, she helps people find ways to put those memories in a different perspective so they stop driving daily decisions.
Her practice blends talking and practical strategies. She uses approaches that emphasize relationships, present-focused thinking, and skill building. For people working through substance concerns, chronic pain, or family-of-origin issues she draws on her program leadership experience to shape treatment planning.
Dr. Taylor welcomes conversations about coping strategies, boundary-setting, relapse prevention, and rebuilding intimacy. She encourages a steady pace and collaborative planning so each person leaves sessions with clear next steps.
Approaches for online work and finding the right fit
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and trust. Online work using this approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and choose different ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's concerns. It gives space for people to name their goals and for the therapist to respond with empathy and reflection, useful for stress, grief, and self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
