About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate related concerns like depression, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and changes in life circumstances. She draws on three decades of clinical work to offer steady, practical support for people looking to feel more grounded and clear about their next steps.
Her approach centers on building trust and listening first. She encourages clients to name goals and then takes a step-by-step approach toward them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clarifying thoughts and feelings, addressing patterns that come from early attachments, and developing concrete skills to reduce distress. Dr. Taylor has led mental health and addiction programs in hospitals and community agencies.
She has worked at multiple levels of care, from inpatient settings to outpatient counseling. That background informs how she guides people through recovery and long-term change. She has also served in leadership roles, including clinical director and chief executive positions for nonprofit treatment services.
In addition, she has taught mental health and addiction topics as adjunct faculty at several universities for more than 20 years. People who come for help can expect a blend of practical skill-building and thoughtful reflection. Dr.
Taylor emphasizes removing barriers to progress, whether those are habits tied to substance use, relationship patterns, or persistent worry. Her style is direct, compassionate, and focused on real-world results.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that started in early relationships and how they shape current reactions; it helps people understand why certain situations feel threatening and how to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the person's lead; it helps when someone needs time and support to sort out values, goals, and feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend a mix of methods tailored to those goals. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to share thoughts between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
