About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with eight years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She often helps people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Christie also notes work with codependency and related family-of-origin and attachment concerns.
Her main approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build clearer responses to stress. Sessions can include skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling difficult emotions.
Christie describes her style as down-to-earth and collaborative with room for real conversation. She aims to create a setting where clients can speak honestly and include everyday talk and occasional humor while doing meaningful work. She says therapy is most effective when it fits the person rather than following a fixed formula.
In practice she may draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Client-Centered methods to strengthen emotional regulation and increase self-awareness. Motivational Interviewing can be part of sessions when people are weighing change or trying new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help slow reactions and build awareness of present-moment experience.
People who reach out can expect to start by naming current concerns and identifying small, concrete steps forward. Christie encourages working together to set practical goals and to practice skills between sessions so progress can be noticed in daily life.
How sessions work
How Christie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Christie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that shape feelings and actions and then practice alternative ways of responding. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking by breaking problems into small, workable parts.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style tools are practical skills people can use in tense moments or ongoing relationship stress. Client-Centered Therapy appears in her work as an emphasis on listening and building a collaborative plan based on the client's priorities.
Finding the right approach is something to figure out together. Christie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative choice can include trying different techniques for several sessions and adjusting as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Discuss format and timing with the therapist when you schedule to make sessions fit your routine.
