Christine DeHart , LCSW

Christine DeHart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with licenses in Arizona and Indiana and more than 15 years of experience in private practice. As an LCSW she draws on clinical training and practical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and other life transitions. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

DeHart brings specific experience helping LGBTQ clients, those with alternative lifestyles and earth-based spiritual paths, and people connected to the military community through specialized training. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she individualizes conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person s needs and goals. Her approach balances evidence-based techniques with attention to relationship patterns and emotional experience.

For many years she has maintained a private practice near downtown Indianapolis and has worked across a range of settings. In addition to clinical work, she is a Reiki Master Teacher. Seeking change can require courage, and DeHart frames her role as one of support and empowerment for people taking steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine DeHart integrates several therapeutic approaches to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people improve connection, trust, and security in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients can clarify values, build self-understanding, and make changes that fit their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress and to develop practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. DeHart works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors interventions so the methods used align with what will feel most helpful and effective for that individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats can make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and combine real-time conversations with ongoing written check-ins to support progress between meetings.
