About Christine
Christine Talley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches each person with kindness, respect, and patience. Her work emphasizes meeting people where they are and treating them with dignity.
Christine has long experience in community mental health dating back to 2008. She has received several Social Work and community mental health awards in Kentucky and Louisiana, and she draws on that background when supporting people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Her style is warm and observant. Sessions tend to focus on listening first, then building practical steps that fit daily life. She names emotions, explores patterns that cause pain, and helps people practice new responses to old habits.
Christine uses several approaches to guide her work, including attachment-based methods, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. She also has a background in theological seminary related to social work and is open to questions about that part of her education.
Christine practices in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She believes change is possible and aims to help people move toward more meaningful, manageable days.
How these approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections influence current relationships. In sessions this looks like talking about important relationships, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of relating to others and oneself.Client-centered therapy means the person leads the pace of therapy. The therapist offers careful listening, empathy, and reflections so people can find their own answers and build confidence in small steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying different behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood shifts by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and what feels most helpful in the first sessions.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or allow conversations without traveling. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, track progress, and help create changes that carry into everyday life.
