About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor, LPC, has more than 30 years of experience in mental health and addiction services in Texas. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and codependency. She also addresses caregiving stress, chronic illness, blended family challenges, and substance-related issues.
She focuses on helping people clarify the thoughts and feelings that brought them to counseling. Sessions look at what the client hopes for and the changes they want in life. When the past still affects daily life, she helps people find ways to leave what no longer serves them behind.
Dr. Taylor has led mental health and substance abuse programs in both private and public settings. She has served as clinical director for psychiatric hospitals across levels of care and has been a CEO of non-profit addiction treatment programs. Her background includes developing an addiction and chronic pain program and providing direct counseling services.
She has taught as adjunct faculty in mental health and addiction programs at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Cameron University in Oklahoma, and the University of Houston. That teaching background informs her practical approach to therapy and to strategies for recovery and abstinence when substance use is a factor.
Her work includes experience counseling children and supporting teens whose parents have alcoholism or addiction. People meet with her to talk through concrete steps, learn coping skills, and practice clearer communication in relationships.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people notice how dependency and trust habits affect adult relationships and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. It supports people in naming what they want to change and in choosing the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to shift thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and managing urges or unhelpful reactions.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress and feedback guide the process.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require it. They also let people practice skills and communication strategies from their everyday environment, which can make new behaviors easier to try and review with the therapist.
