About Christine

Christine Hamby is an LCSW with three years of clinical experience based in Oklahoma. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety and phobia. Christine uses practical talk and structured techniques to address everyday struggles and moments that feel overwhelming.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, explore patterns in relationships, and choose small actions that align with their values. Christine keeps things straightforward and focused on what can change day to day.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment or attachment concerns, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Christine can help with issues around control, impulsivity, mood shifts, personality-related patterns, and relationship arrangements including polyamory and non-monogamy.

People facing life transitions such as divorce, separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, or broader coping with life changes may find practical strategies in her sessions. Christine will talk through coping skills and ways to reduce distress between appointments.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her LCSW credential. For next steps she asks people to use the platform matching process to schedule a first appointment and begin discussing goals.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that reflect what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for reducing anxious thinking and building specific coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early and current connections affect trust, closeness, and feeling understood. This approach can help with attachment concerns, abandonment themes, and relationship-related anxiety. Christine will work with the individual to figure out which methods fit best. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques to match a person's goals and comfort with different exercises. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Talking through exercises and practicing skills between meetings can help integrate changes into everyday life.
