Christie Hines, LCSW - Therapist in Kentucky

About Christie

Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She offers a warm, down-to-earth space where clients can speak openly and work toward clearer choices. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, mixing conversation, practical tools, and a sense of humor when it fits.

Christie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.

Background and approach

She also draws on Client-Centered approaches and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help with emotional regulation and communication. Sessions often focus on concrete skills for managing anxiety, coping with loss, and improving day-to-day functioning. Many people come to her for issues tied to relationships, parenting stress, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem.

She also supports those navigating divorce and separation, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. Christie helps people break patterns that keep them stuck and build practical alternatives. Her approach is to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

That can mean learning tools to interrupt unhelpful thought patterns, practicing communication strategies, or developing small routines to reduce overwhelm. She encourages honest, grounded work that fits into everyday life. Christie practices in Kentucky and sees clients in English.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can be arranged based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christie works from approaches that focus on thoughts, emotions, and practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. It often involves tracking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where goals come from the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with CBT tools, adding DBT skills for emotional regulation, or leaning on a client-centered way of pacing sessions. She checks in regularly to make adjustments together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or meeting from a quieter location. They also let people practice skills in real-world routines and bring immediate problems into session for hands-on problem solving. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively through remote sessions, and Christie will help identify what will work best for each person.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
