About Sandi
Sandi Hines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 18 years of practice. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or major life transitions. She supports clients who are coping with family conflict, parenting challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sandi also works with concerns like attachment issues, career stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her approach is warm and person-centered. She listens closely to each person's story and treats them as an individual. In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills and ways to build resilience. The aim is to help people increase self-esteem and confidence through steady, achievable steps.
Sandi draws on several therapy styles to fit a person’s needs. She uses methods that look at thoughts and behaviors, connection patterns, and values-driven action. Therapy sessions often involve naming strengths, practicing new skills, and trying small changes between meetings.
People can expect a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where they are heard. Sandi guides clients in identifying goals and tracking progress over time. She emphasizes collaboration and gradual movement toward the life someone wants.
Her work is practical and focused on what helps day-to-day. Sandi invites those ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process aims to be clear and manageable for busy lives.
Approaches that guide online conversations
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It often involves learning to notice thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences, and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative and can change as you make progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people choose conversations that focus on skills practice, problem solving, or emotional processing in ways that fit their schedule and daily routines.
