Dr. Christie Taylor, LPC

Dr. Christie Taylor helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or big life changes. She focuses on what clients want their lives to look like and talks through thoughts and feelings that get in the way of those goals. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at clearing old patterns so people can move forward.

She brings three decades of work in mental health and addiction services in both public and private settings. That experience includes leadership roles in psychiatric treatment programs and nonprofit addiction services, plus direct counseling in many care settings. She has also taught mental health and addiction topics as an adjunct faculty member at multiple universities.

In sessions she emphasizes rebuilding healthy patterns in thinking and behavior. She supports people working toward recovery from substance use and helps those managing chronic pain, illness, or caregiver stress. She also assists with relationship concerns, parenting stress, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Her style blends an interest in attachment and relationships with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. She likes to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes. She also brings experience with couples work using a relationship-focused method when that fits a person's goals.

People who choose her often want someone experienced with addiction, chronic health problems, or caregiving strain. She aims to earn trust, lay out clear options, and walk alongside clients as they test new ways of coping and relating.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help people understand why certain relationship habits repeat and try different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, using listening and reflection to help someone feel heard and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers straightforward tools to test and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a steady rhythm of check-ins during life transitions. Online work can also let someone continue therapy while managing chronic health issues, caregiving responsibilities, or recovery from substance use, as the focus remains on practical strategies and relationship patterns rather than logistics.
