Christine DeHart , LCSW

Christine DeHart is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and LGBT concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep or eating problems, and challenges with self-esteem and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens without judgment and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as deeper emotional work when it fits.

Christine uses a mix of approaches to meet different problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also incorporates client-centered care to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities.

Christine has practiced in private settings for many years and holds licenses as an LCSW in Arizona and Indiana. She works with people from a range of backgrounds, including military-connected clients and those with alternative lifestyles or earth-based spiritualities. She also teaches Reiki and brings that perspective when clients are open to it.

People who reach out can expect a calm, practical approach aimed at clearer choices and better daily coping. Christine aims to support and empower clients as they make changes at their own pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people identify patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and responding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In video or phone sessions Christine can guide clients through exercises, homework, and concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and pick methods that fit. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text are effective for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or shorter communications between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
