About Kristi
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with five years of clinical experience. Kristi Taylor-Sayles helps people manage stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She works with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, forgiveness, post-traumatic stress, and self-love matters. Sessions are conducted in English and Kristi practices in Maryland.
Kristi uses a mix of approaches to guide conversations and care. She draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused work supports recovery from past harm.
In sessions Kristi focuses on practical steps and clear talk. Parents and caregivers can expect help making sense of stressful patterns. For people involved with adoption or foster care she pays attention to attachment and caregiving stresses.
Her style keeps discussions focused on what someone wants to change now. That can mean short skills practice, problem-solving, or looking at how past experiences affect today. Kristi adapts the approach as needs shift over time.
Before booking, the site’s matching process asks a few questions to point you to appropriate options. The therapist asks clients to schedule an initial session after completing that short questionnaire. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Kristi uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches that adapt well to remote conversations. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in how people relate to others, helping clients notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also brings client-centered principles into online sessions by following the client’s priorities and pacing the work to what feels manageable. Figuring out which approach fits is a shared process. The therapist and client review goals and adjust methods over time so sessions remain relevant and practical.
The site biography does not specify which online session formats are used. Before booking, confirm the available formats and scheduling options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make shorter check-ins possible, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can make it easier to keep consistent work on stress, family concerns, trauma recovery, and behavior change.
