About Christine
Christine DeHart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and Indiana with 15 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and anger, and she has experience with LGBT concerns and military-related issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Conversations focus on concrete problems and workable changes. She uses a mix of approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive techniques, and emotion-focused methods to help clients understand patterns and reactions.
Christine pays attention to life context. That includes caregiving stress, chronic illness, aging concerns, and the pressures faced by first responders and veterans. She also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating problems, bipolar mood issues, and coping with big life changes.
Her style includes client-centered listening combined with practical skills training from CBT and DBT when helpful. She also draws on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas to address intimacy and relationship problems. Sessions aim to clarify what triggers anger and to build alternative ways to respond.
She has worked in private practice settings for many years and maintains an office near downtown Indianapolis. Christine mentions working with people from alternative spiritual paths and those living nontraditional lifestyles. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape reactions. This approach helps when anger is linked to feeling rejected, cut off, or misunderstood in close relationships. Client-centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, using listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters and what feels off. It supports practical goal-setting and honest talk about anger triggers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger going. It teaches concrete skills such as spotting unhelpful thinking, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses for stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether more skill-building, relationship work, or emotional processing is needed. That choice is based on the client’s goals, experiences, and how they prefer to work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, a shorter phone or video check-in can work around a work break, while video sessions allow for more conversational depth. Ask about formats offered and how sessions are scheduled to match your routine.
