About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and parenting. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She aims to build trust first, then help people name the thoughts and feelings that brought them to counseling. Sessions look at current goals and the hopes someone has for their life. When the past is getting in the way of today, she works on ways to leave what no longer serves in the past so it stops shaping daily choices.
Dr. Taylor has led mental health and substance use treatment programs in both private and public settings for three decades. Her background includes roles as clinical director in hospital programs across levels of care and CEO of nonprofit addiction treatment services. She has advised and developed programs that addressed addiction and chronic pain in hospital settings.
She has also taught as adjunct faculty in mental health and addiction training programs at several universities for about 20 years. That work has been alongside ongoing clinical practice in counseling and addiction services.
In sessions she combines practical conversation with methods that look at patterns of attachment, thoughts, and behaviors. She brings experience with both individual therapy and group psychotherapy settings. People often work on coping skills, relapse prevention, and clearer communication about relationship and parenting stresses.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It focuses on how people relate, communicate, and seek reassurance and can help with intimacy and relationship stress.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what someone is saying. It helps people sort their priorities, feel heard, and decide next steps for parenting, relationships, or coping with loss.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. It provides concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, and coping with cravings or relapse triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Taylor will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time as needs change.
The practical upside of working online is fitting sessions into busy days and keeping continuity when schedules are tight. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. In conversation she can recommend options that fit a routine, such as shorter check-ins or sessions timed around work or caregiving responsibilities.
