About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and a wide range of related issues including ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on clarifying what brings someone to counseling and on the hopes a person holds for their life. She helps people separate past hurts from present choices and supports steps toward recovery from mood-altering substances. Sessions often involve talking through current problems and identifying practical ways to change patterns of thought and behavior.
Dr. Taylor has led mental health and substance use treatment programs in both private and public settings. Her background includes roles as clinical director at psychiatric hospitals across levels of care and as CEO of nonprofit addiction treatment programs. She has also taken part in developing an addiction and chronic pain program in Houston.
For the last two decades she has taught as an adjunct faculty member in mental health and addiction counseling programs at several universities. That teaching work runs alongside many years delivering direct counseling to individuals. Her experience includes working with children and offering focused support for teens affected by parental alcoholism and addiction.
In sessions she pays attention to how thoughts, relationships, and habits affect feelings and behavior. She uses talk-based methods and structured techniques to help people test different ways of coping and relating. People who want straightforward discussion and practical steps to manage anxiety, addiction, or life transitions will find this approach clear and direct.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and expectations. In practice this means noticing patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of relating to reduce anxiety in social or intimate situations.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which can help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety to clarify priorities and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and avoidance going. Sessions use practical exercises to test assumptions, try small behavioral changes, and measure what helps most.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan over time.
