About Christie

Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She keeps sessions warm, down-to-earth, and practical. Christie emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly and try new ways of coping.

Her work centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, examining how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses that framework to help with anxiety, stress, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She also draws on client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each person’s pace and preferences.

Christie often supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions. She pays attention to patterns that come from early family experiences and attachment issues. Christie can help with communication problems, codependency, and decision-related concerns like commitment or separation.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. That can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, learning emotion regulation techniques, and practicing communication strategies. She aims to make therapy feel conversational while still addressing important changes.

Christie has experience working with military service members and understands challenges tied to military life, career transition, and adjustment. She asks questions, listens closely, and works with each person to find manageable steps forward. If you’re unsure where to begin, she helps you start from what matters most now.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Christie's work often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and helps people practice different responses to worry, low mood, or unhelpful thinking. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding your experience, and shaping sessions around what matters to you.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or strong reactivity gets in the way. DBT-based tools teach pacing, distress-tolerance steps, and ways to notice emotions without acting on them immediately. These approaches are useful for managing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and reactions after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Christie works with each person to decide what fits best. She collaborates on goals, tries techniques suited to your situation, and adjusts the plan as you learn what helps. This shared decision-making helps tailor therapy to your needs and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Christie will work with you to shape sessions that match your schedule and the pace you prefer.
