Dr. Christie Taylor, LPC

Dr. Christie Taylor is an LPC with three decades of clinical experience who helps people manage stress and anxiety and related concerns. She focuses on what is happening now and on the hopes a person has for their life. Conversations are simple and direct, aimed at sorting through feelings and thoughts that brought someone to counseling.

Her approach looks at how the past shows up in the present. She works with people who want to put painful memories into context, reduce symptoms, and move toward clearer day-to-day choices. She also supports those facing addiction and the emotional work that often accompanies recovery.

Dr. Taylor has led mental health and substance use treatment programs in both public and private settings. Her background includes roles as a clinical director in psychiatric hospitals and leadership in addiction program development. She has also worked as a CEO of nonprofit addiction services and provided direct counseling across many levels of care.

Teaching has been part of her career for many years. She has served as adjunct faculty in mental health and addiction counseling programs at universities in Texas and Oklahoma. That classroom work shapes her focus on practical strategies people can use between sessions.

She has experience counseling children and interest in supporting teens affected by parental alcoholism and addiction. Dr. Taylor aims to build trust first, then help each person choose clear steps forward based on their goals and life situation.

Approaches that guide online work and daily change

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and stress. It helps people understand why they react a certain way when they feel threatened or withdrawn. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, using acceptance and careful listening to help people find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is helping and what feels useful in daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care when they are traveling or living in different places. Licensed professionals can still use the same practical exercises and conversation-based work online to address stress, anxiety, addiction recovery tasks, and relationship patterns.
