Christine Hamby, LCSW

Christine Hamby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and depression. She is direct and warm in sessions and focuses on helping people manage life changes and caregiver fatigue. Her approach is practical and centered on everyday needs. With three years of clinical experience, Christine draws on methods that help people notice their thoughts and commit to values-based action. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and improve mood and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. That perspective helps when people are coping with divorce, separation, or complex relationship arrangements such as polyamory and non-monogamous dynamics. Christine also supports people dealing with hospice and end-of-life stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and compassion fatigue. She helps caregivers sort priorities, set boundaries, and find ways to care for themselves while meeting others' needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Christine helps clients set small, manageable goals and practices to use between meetings. She works in English and is based in Oklahoma.

How Christine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions tied to personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and finding meaning during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. This approach can help with depression, social anxiety, and coping strategies for parenting and caregiving stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as needs change and encourages small practices between sessions to build new habits. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can deliver these evidence-based approaches effectively through remote sessions when the format fits the client's schedule and needs.
