Christine Talley, LCSW

Christine Talley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. She focuses on relationship concerns and related struggles like communication problems, attachment issues, and codependency. Christine emphasizes meeting people where they are and treating everyone with respect and compassion.

She draws on years in community mental health since 2008 and brings a calm, observant manner to sessions. Christine’s style is patient and non-judgmental, and she uses both creativity and clear thinking to help people sort through problems. Her background also includes study at a theological seminary, which she is willing to discuss if it feels relevant.

In practice she uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior techniques, and mindfulness. That mix helps with patterns tied to abandonment, control issues, dependent personality, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with family of origin concerns, domestic violence impacts, and forgiveness work.

Christine holds LCSW credentials in Utah and Maine and works from Florida. She aims to help people build practical skills for daily life, improve how they relate to others, and reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her approach centers on collaboration, steady support, and practical steps people can use between sessions to keep moving forward.

Approaches that inform online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and change repeating cycles of hurt. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, adjust them, and build a plan that fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to one model.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing meetings during lunch breaks or quieter parts of the day. They also make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum while working on relationship patterns and emotional regulation.
