About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor helps people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, career pressures, and major life changes.
She practices from Texas and brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. She focuses first on what a person hopes to change. She listens for the thoughts and feelings that brought someone into counseling.
Then she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and practical steps to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly technical. Christie Taylor holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has three decades of experience leading mental health and addiction treatment programs. That work included clinical director roles across inpatient and outpatient settings and running nonprofit addiction treatment services.
She has taught counseling and addiction topics as an adjunct faculty member at multiple universities. Her background includes direct counseling with people across a range of concerns and leadership in developing programs for addiction and chronic pain. She helps people address family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and blended family stress by focusing on practical coping and clearer patterns of relating.
Many clients come for help with substance use and recovery, and she draws on long experience in addiction services when supporting those goals. Christie aims to be a steady partner in change, offering concrete strategies, steady listening, and respect for each person’s pace.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Taylor often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work means she focuses on what matters to the person, listening closely and building goals from their priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teach practical ways to change them.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when relationship worries, intimacy issues, or family-of-origin patterns are part of the concern. Together, she and clients decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best for the person’s goals and situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while working with licensed professionals to address anxiety, phobias, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns.
