Christine Talley

Christine Talley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She writes and talks plainly in sessions so people can feel heard and make steady changes. Christine aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

She has worked in community mental health since 2008 and brings 17 years of experience to her practice. Christine emphasizes kindness, respect, and empathy in the room. She looks for practical steps people can try between sessions and checks what is working as therapy progresses.

Christine draws on mindfulness practices to help people calm the body and notice thoughts without getting swept away. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques are woven in to set clear goals and try small behavior changes.

Her background includes Social Work education and time in theological seminary related to social work. She has been recognized with Social Work and Community Mental Health awards in Kentucky and Louisiana. Christine describes her strengths as being patient, observant, and non-judgmental.

Sessions focus on what matters most to each person, whether that is reducing panic, addressing obsessive thoughts, improving communication, or working through family-of-origin issues. People who prefer a calm, steady approach with practical tools may find her style helpful.

Remote sessions using mindfulness and attachment ideas

Christine often uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice bodily signals and reduce reactivity through simple attention practices. Mindfulness can be useful for panic, anxiety, and persistent worry by giving people tools to interrupt automatic reactions.

She also uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships influence current patterns, especially around trust, communication, and closeness. Client-centered methods keep the focus on each person's goals and lived experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic feedback.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to try methods that match their goals, experience, and comfort. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits how someone prefers to work and what they want to change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist's profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows using attention exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments between sessions to support progress.
