About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma, grief, parenting strains, and related issues. Christie works directly with clients to clarify the thoughts and feelings that led them to therapy and to focus on the changes they want in their life.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens to what clients hope for and helps them set clear goals. When the past affects today, she and the client decide together which memories to address and which to put behind them. Her work includes both individual and group psychotherapy, and she also brings experience from addiction treatment settings.
Christie has led mental health and substance use programs in both private and public settings. She has served as a clinical director in psychiatric hospitals across levels of care and has been a chief executive of nonprofit addiction treatment programs. That administrative background informs how she organizes treatment plans and sets realistic steps for change.
She has contributed to higher education as adjunct faculty in mental health and addiction training programs for about 20 years. That teaching role complements her clinical practice and keeps her current with common treatment approaches used for mood, substance, and behavioral issues.
Christie also has many years of experience counseling children and a particular interest in helping teenagers whose parents struggle with alcoholism or addiction. Her work with young people focuses on clear communication, coping skills, and restoring daily routines.
How her therapy approaches work online
Dr. Taylor uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns that contribute to anger, trust issues, or repeated conflicts. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and experimenting with different behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needs change.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or for a briefer touch-in during a lunch break. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to suit remote sessions while focusing on clear practical steps rather than broad promises.
