About Christine

Christine DeHart is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings an approach grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s circumstances and goals. Her practice addresses intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other areas that influence daily functioning and wellbeing.

Christine also attends to concerns related to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, communication breakdowns, separation and infidelity, and complicated feelings like shame or isolation. She has experience with clients from diverse backgrounds and with alternative spiritual and lifestyle perspectives.

Based in Indiana, Christine is licensed as an LCSW and emphasizes collaborative work that empowers people to take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to support clients as they build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and consider meaningful change at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine draws on Internal Family Systems to help people explore different parts of themselves in a gentle, nonjudgmental way; this approach can be helpful for understanding inner conflicts, self-criticism, and healing from trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current connection and emotional responses, which can support work on intimacy, communication, and trust. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions with an emphasis on empathy and the client’s own expertise about their life, creating space for personal agency and growth.

Finding the right blend of methods is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to identify goals, test what works in session, and adjust approaches over time based on needs and preferences rather than assuming a single path up front.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats allow ongoing therapeutic work from different locations and can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
