About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience supporting people through stressful life changes. She offers a warm, down-to-earth style that encourages honest conversation and practical steps forward. Christie focuses on helping clients who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship strains, or parenting stress.
Her work centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. She mixes CBT with client-centered techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness when those methods fit a person's goals. Christie helps clients learn skills for emotional regulation, communication, and coping with life transitions.
Christie also brings experience with issues tied to family of origin, blended families, abandonment, caregiving strain, and domestic violence. She supports people facing difficult separations, aging and geriatric concerns, and the fallout from traumatic events. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is included among areas she can address.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions can include working on unhelpful thought patterns, building healthier routines, and practicing new ways of responding in stressful moments. Christie believes therapy should fit each person instead of following a single rigid plan.
People who prefer straightforward conversation with room for humor and real-life problem solving may find her approach useful. To begin, a short matching process and scheduling step helps align a client's needs with her practice and availability.
How Christie’s therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It creates space for people to say what matters most and to set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT techniques and adding mindfulness or DBT skills if those help with emotional regulation and coping.
Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know how sessions are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also supports continuity of care after a move or during life transitions by letting people keep working with a therapist from a distance.
