About Sandi
Sandi Hines, LCSW, brings 18 years of clinical experience to her practice in Tennessee. She greets people with a warm, person-centered approach and a steady, practical manner. She focuses on helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, and relationship concerns.
Her style aims to make the first steps easier and less overwhelming for someone who is worried about change. She listens first and asks questions that help callers make sense of what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions look at everyday stressors, family tensions, workplace pressure, and patterns that make life harder. Sandi draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current needs and reactions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel intense. Sandi describes her manner as genuine, open-minded, and nonjudgmental.
She partners with clients to build coping strategies, strengthen self-esteem, and increase resilience. Progress is framed as steady, practical work rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to create a caring atmosphere where people can try new ways of coping and make changes that matter.
She welcomes questions and supports people as they take the next steps toward goals they find meaningful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional needs and interactions; it can help people understand repeated reactions and build more supported ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapist's genuine, nonjudgmental presence and active listening to help a person feel heard and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is often collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try methods that match what you want to work on. If something does not fit, adjustments can be made together until the way of working feels helpful.
Online sessions come in several flexible formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is challenging, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when those are useful.
