Christine Talley

Christine Talley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to meet clients where they are and treat each person with kindness, patience, and respect. Her approach is warm and direct, focused on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She brings 17 years of experience in community mental health settings. That background shaped her toward working with clear goals and steady support. Christine emphasizes understanding each person’s story and recognizing their strengths as part of change.

Her style draws on attachment-focused ideas, client-centered care, and practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and better moment-to-moment choices. Sessions typically combine talking through current problems with learning new ways to respond to stress and difficult emotions.

Christine also notes experience related to family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency, abandonment concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, domestic violence, and mood regulation challenges. She values curiosity and creativity when finding solutions that work for each individual.

She holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Maine and practices from Florida. Christine mentions a theological seminary background connected to social work and welcomes questions about that part of her training.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and develop steadier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and building a trusting working relationship so the person can explore feelings and choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That could mean trying skills-focused CBT exercises one week and using attachment-informed reflection the next, depending on how things are going.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can also make it simpler to use short check-ins or combine different session lengths when needed. The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure the format matches your schedule and preferences.
