Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Dr. Christie Taylor commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape present-day patterns, helping with relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and family dynamics by identifying and repairing connection wounds. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight, self-worth, and personal goals, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with cravings or mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Christie Taylor works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she remains flexible in adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives and for clients who live far from in-person services. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access regular support with greater scheduling flexibility and convenience. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and to tailor session formats to what works best for each person.
