About Christie
Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with more than 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and related struggles.
She begins by building trust and helping people clarify the feelings and thoughts that brought them to counseling. Sessions often look at how past experiences influence today's reactions and consider ways to leave some of that past where it belongs. She frames recovery from mood-altering substances as part of reshaping thought patterns and emotional life when relevant.
Her background includes leadership roles in both private and public mental health and addiction services. She has directed psychiatric hospital programs across levels of care, led nonprofit addiction treatment services, and helped develop an addiction and chronic pain program in Houston. That administrative and clinical mix informs how she plans care and sets realistic goals.
Dr. Taylor has taught mental health and addiction counseling courses for about 20 years at several universities. That teaching informs a pragmatic approach in sessions - explaining concepts plainly and offering concrete skills to try between meetings.
She has substantial experience counseling children and supporting teens affected by parental alcoholism and addiction. In individual work she focuses on clear goals, coping skills, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions. It helps when anger is tied to feeling rejected, misunderstood, or disconnected from others by focusing on patterns in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying the thoughts that trigger anger and testing different responses. It offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior in day-to-day situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Taylor will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than sticking to one fixed method.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio only based on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these practical features to keep momentum between sessions and make skill practice more manageable in everyday life.
