Christine Talley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience who helps people tackle low self esteem, anxiety, stress, and depression. She works gently and directly, listening first and then helping people notice small shifts they can make. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
Christine emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional understanding. She uses evidence-based methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include skill building for emotion regulation, communication, and managing panic or obsessive thoughts.
Her background includes long involvement in community mental health since 2008. She also brings perspectives from theological seminary study that some clients find meaningful when exploring values, meaning, and forgiveness. Christine has received Social Work and Community Mental Health awards in Kentucky and Louisiana.
In the therapy room she aims to be observant, patient, and non-judgmental. People can expect a calm, animated clinician who balances creativity with logic. She frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than sudden change.
Christine practices in Florida and uses an approach that draws on attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. She encourages people to focus on small, consistent changes that support stronger self esteem and healthier relationships.
How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect trust and self worth. Online sessions can be a space to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in small steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In virtual sessions clients often work on homework between meetings, such as thought records or behavior experiments that support clearer thinking and improved self esteem.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. These practices are easy to practice between online appointments and can be layered into daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can involve trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people value online sessions because they make scheduling easier, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also supports practicing skills between meetings, which can speed up progress toward clearer thinking, steadier mood, and stronger self esteem.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and low self esteem. She also works with issues like panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, attachment and codependency concerns.
