About Sandi
Sandi Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Tennessee with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, anger, and parenting concerns. Sandi also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and challenges at work or with self-esteem.
Sandi uses a person-centered style. She listens to each individual's story and treats people as unique. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building practical coping strategies. The aim is to increase resilience so everyday problems feel more manageable.
Her approach blends several methods to suit different needs. Sandi draws on cognitive behavioral work to help change unhelpful thinking. She uses acceptance-oriented tools to help people live by their values when life feels overwhelming.
In sessions she pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people connect with others. That can help when family tensions or parenting demands are wearing someone down. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior work to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
People can expect straightforward conversation and active listening. Sandi helps with concrete skills and practical steps, along with space to talk through feelings. Her focus is on making change that fits the life someone actually lives.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical techniques to change behaviors and mood. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as circumstances and priorities shift.

It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and reduce the need to arrange childcare on appointment days. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and home practice to the online setting so therapy can fit into daily life.
