About Sandi

Sandi Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, family conflict, and anger. She also supports individuals facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Sandi uses a person-centered style and listens to each person’s story. She works to identify strengths and build practical coping strategies. Sessions focus on clear steps that increase resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to address patterns of thinking, emotions, and behavior that get in the way of daily life and relationships.

In a session Sandi listens, reflects, and helps people try new ways of responding to stress. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to manage mood, communication, and impulses. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at concrete improvements.

People who come to her often want help with relationship communication, parenting pressures, coping with loss, or adjusting to life changes. She draws on years of practice to help people set realistic goals and work toward them one step at a time.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions can fit your life

Sandi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to act in ways that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and connection that affect relationships and intimacy; it can be useful for communication issues, attachment concerns, and family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandi works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and current life demands. She discusses options and adjusts the plan based on how people respond and what they want to accomplish.

The original biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel. It can reduce the need to commute, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let someone connect without being on camera if that helps them engage. These practical benefits are considered alongside therapeutic fit when deciding how to work together.
