About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals who feel overwhelmed or stuck and offers straightforward, practical support for everyday problems.
Christie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. She explains how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, and helps people try different ways of responding to upsetting thoughts. She also draws on client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the work to what each person needs.
Sessions often focus on specific goals. That can include finding ways to cut down constant worry, improving communication, building better coping strategies, or learning techniques to manage strong emotions. She may work on patterns related to abandonment, attachment, codependency, control issues, or problems rooted in family of origin and blended family dynamics.
Christie has experience with issues that arise from life changes, caregiver stress, aging concerns, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. She also has background supporting people connected to military life and the transitions that come with service.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process so they can select a first session and begin focused, practical work.
How her approaches fit into online work
Christie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions tend to focus on clear goals, homework-style practice, and concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used as needed to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will review your needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate with you to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness exercises, or motivational interviewing techniques will be most useful. That decision can change as progress is made.
