How Christie works
When the past is casting a shadow, she helps people decide what they want to leave behind and what to carry forward. Her style blends practical, evidence-informed tools with open listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and on attachment-based work to examine how relationships shape emotion.
She also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to support meaning-making and personal choice. Dr. Taylor spent many years leading mental health and addiction programs in both personal and public settings.
Her background includes directing psychiatric services across levels of care and serving as a chief executive for nonprofit addiction treatment programs. She helped develop an addiction and chronic pain program at a major Houston treatment center. She has taught mental health and addiction counseling as adjunct faculty for about 20 years at several universities.
That teaching experience informs her clear explanations and focus on practical skills. People seeking steadiness through change often find her approach direct, respectful, and goal oriented.

Online support options
Using attachment and cognitive approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns that repeat in partnerships and family connections and offers ways to try new, healthier responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides tools to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce anxiety, and change behaviors that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy can fit different schedules and needs because it offers several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
