About Christie
Christie Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with eight years of experience helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and family of origin issues. She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and regain clearer decision making when life feels stuck.
Christie uses straightforward conversations and collaborative problem solving. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness to help manage strong emotions and build steady coping skills.
In sessions she often helps people notice repeated family patterns and how those patterns affect current choices. That can include communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, and attachment concerns. Christie also supports people adjusting to big life changes such as divorce, caregiving demands, or transitions related to military service.
Her work includes practical skills like stress reduction techniques, communication practice, and short-term behavioral experiments people can try between sessions. She can help parents who are feeling overwhelmed and adults working through grief or low self-esteem.
Christie aims for direct, honest conversation with space for everyday humor. She meets each person where they are and works together to set clear goals and steps forward.
