About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC in Texas with 30 years of experience in mental health and addiction services. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and family of origin issues. Christie focuses on clarifying what brings someone to counseling and on the hopes they have for change.
She helps people who feel their past is casting a shadow on their present. Sessions often look at patterns that started in childhood and how those patterns show up now. Christie uses straightforward conversation to sort feelings and thoughts and to identify practical next steps.
Christie has led mental health and substance abuse programs in both private and public settings. She has been a clinical director in psychiatric care across levels from inpatient to outpatient, and has served as CEO of nonprofit addiction treatment programs. This work shaped the way she thinks about recovery and behavior change.
She has taught mental health and addiction courses as adjunct faculty for about 20 years at a range of universities. Her background includes developing an addiction and chronic pain program in a hospital setting. This mix of leadership, clinical work, and teaching informs her approach to treatment and supervision.
Christie has extensive experience counseling children and working with teens whose parents struggle with alcoholism or addiction. In sessions she aims to help people realign thought patterns and develop more effective ways of coping with life changes and stressors.
Approaches used and how online sessions can work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations for connection. It helps people recognize recurring relationship patterns and find different ways to relate. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can name their own goals and make choices that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and coping habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying a method for several sessions and adjusting based on what feels helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work if relocating or traveling. Talk with the therapist about practical preferences like camera use, session length, and scheduling to find an arrangement that fits everyday life.
