About Christine

Christine Hamby is an LCSW licensed in Arkansas and Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and related struggles.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Christine helps people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice clearer communication at home.

Clients often bring problems tied to relationships and caregiving. Christine talks through how emotions and past attachments shape current responses. She helps people weigh options and build strategies that fit daily life.

Her style leans toward short, actionable steps alongside deeper reflection. That can mean practicing a new response, testing a boundary, or revisiting a difficult memory to reduce its hold. Work is paced to the person and aimed at usable change rather than theory.

People who want help managing parenting stress, grief around separation, or long-running anxiety may find this approach useful. Christine works in English and is based in Oklahoma. If someone wants to begin, they follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people decide what matters and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand patterns with partners or caregivers and try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to shift mood and function.

Finding a good fit in approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision may shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around parenting or work. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and fit therapy into a weekday break. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT exercises for remote meetings so the work is still hands-on and focused on everyday changes.
