About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, trauma, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel less overwhelmed and more in control of daily life.
Christie draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems in place and to try new ways of responding. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when emotion regulation or intense stress are central concerns.
Sessions often include clear tools for managing anxiety, skills for calmer communication, and exercises to reduce reactive behaviors. Christie speaks plainly about what to try between visits and checks in on how new strategies are working. She supports people dealing with family-of-origin concerns, relationship communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues related to abandonment and attachment.
Her background includes work with military service members, which informs an understanding of career transitions and relationship impacts tied to military life. Christie aims for sessions that include honest conversation and, when appropriate, a bit of humor alongside focused skills work. She encourages people who are used to handling things alone to try a different way of coping.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and practical next steps are discussed. Christie practices in Kentucky and offers services in English.
BHow sessions work
How Christie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Christie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other and teaches specific ways to change unhelpful patterns. DBT skills focus on managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing clearer communication.Finding the right approach is part of the beginning work. Christie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. That means checking what feels useful, adjusting strategies, and agreeing on concrete homework or practice between sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during work breaks or between errands. They also let people use mindfulness practices or emotion-regulation exercises from wherever they are, and the therapist can adapt homework to each person’s daily routine.
