About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, relationships, grief, or persistent worry. She creates a warm, down-to-earth space where clients can speak openly and begin to untangle what’s been holding them back.
Her work centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looking at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Christie uses that framework to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered habits to keep the process collaborative and respectful.
Christie blends practical skills and real conversation. That can mean learning tools for managing anxiety and stress, practicing clearer communication, or building steady coping strategies after loss or trauma. She aims for short, useful steps rather than quick fixes.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to strengthen emotional regulation when feelings feel intense. Mindfulness practice and motivational interviewing often appear in sessions too, depending on what a person needs that day.
Christie has experience with issues tied to family of origin, parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, and relationship struggles. She is based in Kentucky and offers therapy in English. If someone is unsure what to focus on, she starts by listening and making a plan together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, emotions, and actions link together. In practice that means learning to notice unhelpful thinking, testing different responses, and developing coping steps for anxiety, low mood, or relationship stress.She also draws on client-centered methods that keep the work collaborative. That approach focuses on listening first, reflecting what matters to the person, and shaping next steps together rather than following a fixed plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. During early sessions she will help you identify goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about tools and practices are made together, and the plan can change as you make progress.
