About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience helping people through stressful and life-changing moments. She draws on a down-to-earth, warm style that aims to make clients feel comfortable speaking honestly. Her work often centers on anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship or family stress.
Christie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation while blending other approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions may include looking at thoughts that fuel anxiety, practicing new ways to respond, and building tools to manage strong emotions. She also uses mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation.
She has experience with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues that arise from caregiving or blended family dynamics. Christie also supports people dealing with divorce, separation, communication problems, and the long-term effects of family-of-origin issues.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Conversations can be straightforward or gentle, and she says humor has a place in the room when appropriate. The focus is on what matters to each person and on small, usable steps toward change.
Christie’s practice reflects work with service and civilian life transitions, including challenges tied to career shifts and adjustment to change. People who want a personable, problem-focused approach may find her style helpful when they are ready to make changes.

How Christie’s approaches translate to online therapy
The therapist commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that influence feelings and behavior and then testing new ways of thinking. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with emotional regulation and coping with strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She tailors strategies based on needs and preferences so the work feels useful and doable between sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a break at work or attend from different locations, and it supports continuing care through transitions tied to service and civilian life. Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session choices before booking to make sure they match your needs.
